GS CMG vs Jeffries M&A vs DB

GS CMG has an odd structure. It's too early to tell what buyout exits will be since the group is so new so perhaps someone else can add color here. Jefferies M&A is great for solid MM buyout exits. They hold the pen on the operating model for most deals w/ the exception of LBO (levfin), healthcare and tech (in-house m&a). Would say JEF M&A is better for buyout than most groups at DB except maybe levfin/sponsors and potentially industrials, so would take JEF here given DB seems to be generalist and you have a guaranteed strong group at JEF. Worth noting DB probably has softer elbows on the culture side, JEF M&A is challenging analyst experience. 

Would get more info on GS CMG and then make your decision. 

What is CMG?

Cross markets all day take the brand name (and the pay increase) and try to lateral to another IB classic group if you want. 
 

You are MUCH better off with GS on your resume than Jeffries or DB. CMG is still a traditional IB group anyway

If this is for summer I suggest CMG even more since you’ll be in a great position for an internal lateral move into another IB group. Your competition will be other internal candidates from IB financing and s&t who can’t model

is this SA or FT?

GS CMG.. exits were v solid this year with handful going to MF and rest going to UMM. Team brings in abt a third of GS Ibd revenue.

Very lean and the team gets tons of reps and deal flow. Have worked with them on some deals and they’re solid.
