Bain Cap vs. BCV interview

Hi all!

Wondering if anyone has any insight into how similar Bain Cap is to Bain Capital Ventures in terms of associate pay and interview process. I know that directionally associates at BCV are paid less, anyone know how much less? Also I'm reading that interviews at BCV are just 45 mins of talking about a start up or vertical that you think would make for a compelling investment, while Bain Cap is more of a case interview with some finance questions thrown in- is this true?

Thanks!!

“Rachel helped me through the very beginning and we had several iterations that were crucial to the development of a better and great CV for applications. I appreciate her patience and puntual feedback every single time. Also the response time was very short and kept me aware of any delay. It kept me on line for what I had to do and some areas to focus that I didn't knowe before, and some of them honestly I didn't have any idea. Very well all around work”

“Julius was extremely helpful in breaking down the accounting concepts, especially allowing me the opportunity to walk through a question step by step on how the three financial statements are impacted across income, cash flow and balance sheet along with figuring out the mental math for it all. The concept for Equity Value to Enterprise value and bridging between the two were fairly straight forward. Along with the networking advice on reaching out to potential recruiters for Investment banking roles and how lateral recruitement is happening year end vs going into Q1 next year.”
