Familiar with the Raine Group and BDT. Curious to know if there are any other reputable merchant banks that hire analysts out of undergrad? Im prefing merchant banks over IB as I am hoping to get some investment experience under my belt, but would also appreciate any thoughts here. Ideally I would join a PE firm out of undergrad, but I also know the odds of that happening are pretty slim.
