BAAM - Thoughts in 2019?

I have scoured the web for color on what BAAM is like in terms of prestige, comp, exit ops, and quality of work.

The forums I have seen posted are both sparse and out dated.

Hoping to get some color on what their various FoF strategy desks do - i.e. is it any more differentiated than a run of the mill FoF desk doing due diligence... I understand they have an internal principal investing arm - not sure if the groups are integrated.

Would you recommend for someone who wants to PM at HF, or stay away?
