I'm curious how hard it is for a strong performer in Sankaty/Brookside to switch over to PE after a few years? How close are the various Bain Capital affiliates?
I may have stronger connections in those two affiliates, but not so much in PE.

Yes, PE options will be open
Yes, PE options will be open to you from Sankaty / Brookside. Alternatively, if you know you want to get into PE, go for Bain Cap from the get-go. It's easier to move from Bain Cap to Sankaty / Brookside / hedge fund stuff (getting PE experience helps you with the jump to trading / investing).
If you're a strong candidate, your connections shouldn't make a huge difference. Though if you don't have much background and experience, it makes sense to maybe go for the place where you know more people and can develop enough relationships to get great experience and then move onto PE later.
