Can anyone comment on the lifestyle and b-school candidacy of HIG's analysts in Miami?
Also, which of their funds is "better" to work for in terms of experience: LBO or Bayside (credit)? I know they are very different, so my main criterion is preparation for long-term career in PE, corp dev or investment banking.

It's been a while since I've had any experience, but we sold several companies for HIG back when I was in banking. The impression that I got was that it was a sweatshop - I was often exchanging emails with their analyst/associate at 2am and on weekends. I also interviewed with them despite that experience, and it was one of the more intense and technical interviews I had. They're a strong name, a good shop, and do a lot of volume, but it just wasn't a fit for me.
As far as LBO vs. Bayside, it really just depends what you want to prepare for. Since you stated you want to get into PE/Corp Dev, the LBO fund is definitely the better and more relevant bet.
I can confirm the sweatshop rumors. Good friend from college worked there after a stint as an Analyst at a BB M&A group. His hours got moderately better, but he was still working 80-100 hours a week and cancelled about 50% of the weekend trips he planned.
Having said that, they do have a good reputation as a fund and place well into top MBA programs.
