Bain Capital mid level comp/wlb?

Seems like a great spot to work from what I’ve heard anecdotally (MF but with supposedly better hours than some of the other big names, plus I liked Boston the few times I’ve visited so that’s a plus). Currently in a credit/special sits team at a different firm and I’m potentially interested in trying to lateral into an associate/sr. associate at Bain Capital Credit, but I wanted to get a sense of what comp and wlb looks like in the mid-seniority roles like sr. associate and VP in that group. Anyone have any insight? Would be much appreciated, thanks!
