Raine Group - Updated Culture, Reputation And Comp Information

interviewed and received an offer with them last year. nothing but good things to say about them. from what i saw, they give a fair amount of autonomy to their analysts and they really like to recruit people who will be with them for the long haul.

they are a mix of buy/sell side, so it's a good look if you're indecisive on what you actually want to do. they're in some pretty cool stuff and if anyone comes up with a good enough idea, the firm will run with it.

they're not well known outside of the TMT sphere, but they're well respected within it. i say this based on interactions with other bankers from BBs/EBs that I've spoken with. they also are on just about everything that Softbank does within the states, too.

AFAIK total comp is similar, if not marginally less than EVR/CVP. base was 90k for analysts last summer. didn't get an idea of how much bonuses were, but no one there was hurting for cash from the looks of their shoes/suits.

culture wise, they place a heavy weight on how you present yourself. literally every single person i interacted with was "one of the cool kids" - it seemed incredibly hollywood, which makes sense given the origins of the firm. i ended up going with a more established firm for this summer, but it was a really difficult decision not to go with Raine. I'd highly recommend them if you're interested in a career within TMT investing/advisory.
