Would you take Raine over Moelis SF?
Curious if anyone would take Raine over Moelis SF. I heard Moelis SF isn’t nearly as good as its LA counterpart.

I'd definitely take Moelis SF. I don't see why you'd take Raine here unless you're really into media or hate SF lol
well they said SF for both
Raine SF is just their venture arm run by ~5 people Op, who's an IB intern, probably meant Raine (NY) vs Moelis SF
No, take Moelis
You take Raine if you absolutely love TMT, particularly sports. They are specifically built to do that. If you don't, Moelis for a more normal experience.
How Moelis SF compare to LA? Isnt it small asf
Moelis all day unless you’re 110% set on media/sports merchant bank. Raine is unique not only in its coverage but also in its merchant banking business. You must be willing to accept both. Moelis has a more prestigious name and will give you a traditional IB analyst program. Will set you up well for buyside, even if it’s SF.
Love how a salty Raine kid gave MS to every pro-Moelis comment. Nice work. Do whatever makes you feel good about yourself.
Raine
Take Moelis and don't look back.
