Bain Boston vs Bain NYC for PE

Hi guys, I am applying to full-time and I was curious if there was a large difference in opportunity between the two. I understand both offices are great, but I was curious more about moving the PE. Does it really even matter which one since they are both considered to be competitive locations?

You'll have the same set of opportunities available for the most part. 2 things you should consider though -

1) Most of the firms you'll be interviewing for (as well as most of the search firms) will be located in NYC, so it'll likely be easier to interview around from a logistical perspective. This matters; as someone who works in MBB at a non-NYC office, I've seen people turn down interviews during peak recruiting season because they were imposing too much physical stress to what's an already hectic lifestyle. Boston won't be too bad, but still.

2) I do think Boston has a much stronger culture than NYC because it is Bain's flagship office. There are more senior partners around, and I think there's a lot of value in that.
