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!!

Private Equity Career Roadmap (optional)

“I had my roadmap session with Arnau, and it was extremely valuable. As he is also a civil engineer from Spain, I felt comfortable from the start, and he quickly understood my background and career goals. He helped me identify the roles and types of companies I should target given my experience in infrastructure and project finance. He also gave me practical advice on how to position my profile and prioritize my applications. He is clearly very committed to his mentees, and his guidance was honest and tailored to my situation. I left the session with a much clearer plan, and I will definitely book another session with him in the future.”

Private Equity Short Resume Review / Recap

“Very good planning prior to the meeting and effective notes that allowed the session to go quickly and effectively. We covered a lot of topics on the resume and I recieved a good amount of notes that I can correct my resume in order to make it more specific for the PE companies I will work with. Was very helpful in the way of bringing out niche skills I have in order to maximise my chances at differentiating myself from more typical IB candidates. Also provided good insights on the MBA process, what is valuable and the WHY side of P.E. which I will go into depth with in my WHY statements that I am going to do. ”
