What is the best group at a Credit Rating Agency?

Can anyone elaborate on the pros and cons of each group at a CRA? (Structured Finance, FIG, Corporate, Public Finance)

I'd like to narrow down which one to pursue, to set myself up for the best exit opps/transferable skills. I've encountered many mixed opinions regarding FIG and SF especially, any details would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone,
