BofA - Consumer Retail vs Media & Communications Coverage Groups
Any updated details on these two groups at BofA in terms of deal flow, pay, exit opportunities please?

Consumer Retail is one of the stronger groups at Barclays and basically has a pipeline into the top consumer-focused PE shops. Media/comms is considered to be a tier below the top groups at Barclays, but still a good group to be in if you're interested in the sector. Have come across good people in both groups.
Above comment is pretty accurate.
CRG is a great group; really friendly people, good culture, good dealflow, and good exits (confirmed by friends at generalist funds, CRG is one of the groups they would recruit from). Everyone I have interacted with from the group is a genuinely nice person.
CMG was known as the lifestyle group at the bank/weaker deal flow/exits. Heard this changed during covid and the hours became much shittier. Also heard they do less M&A relative to other coverage groups (more financings). Have had mixed interactions with members of the group, most seem nice…
Would take CRG over CMG in a heartbeat. Similar hours but better exit opps/deal flow and great culture.
Thank you.
More insights would be greatly appreciated.
