If you want buyside ops and good lifestyle, go CS Sponsors. Excellent MF placement and none of the grind you might experience at Centerview.

That being said, can't go wrong with either.

 

Exit opps - CS Sponsors. Lifestyle - CS Sponsors Getting Paid - Centerview

"They are all former investment bankers that were laid off in the economic collapse that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have no marketable skills, but by God they work hard."
 

someone brought up a good point that Centerview may not actually be the best place to become a career banker. CS Sponsors is famous for almost all analysts leaving to PE, but it is still possible that it would be better to make a name for yourself at a bulge bracket before moving to a boutique instead of starting at a boutique

 

Thanks everyone. Since it seems that the discussion has come down to this, can you elaborate a bit more on CS Sponsors' exit opps vs. that of Centerview's? Thanks!
