GS TMT/FIG v CVP v Raine Group

Curios to see what you guys would think if you had to choose between the three for someone really interested in getting into global sports & technology investments (like Sixth Street, RedBird, CVC Capital GSG, etc.). Obviously GS for prestige, CVP for a really good culture/firm on cool deals and very high comp. Raine Group for slightly lower comp than CVP but way more than GS plus specific exposure to deals in sports/media (although sports is more concentrated in London office, so idk about NY)

GS > Raine > CVP. Wouldn’t worry about comp in your regard if you know what you want to exit to.

 

If you're mainly interested in Sports media, I would recommend Raine. All the people there love sports, and they're one of the main leaders whenever its time to do a media deal

 

I'd disagree with this guy. They work on some very interesting deals (both investing and advisory) - just look at the website. Seems to have a lot in the pipeline as well such as the NBA Europe expansion. Cannot get much higher on pay and a reason why close to 60-70% stay for associate years.

If you want the biggest absolute deals take CVP or GS but if you care about the type of deals, people, long term career trajectory Raine is very competitive
