Bain Capital - Quality of life?

Anybody know about the quality of life as a 1st year associate at Bain Capital?

Is it as bad as BX, KKR or Apollo? Any insight to the culture would be extremely helpful.

Thanks guys

Private Equity Mock Interview

“Andre was amazing to work with. He brought real energy and clarity to every conversation, explained complex ideas simply, and always made time to help. His attention to detail and calm under pressure lifted the whole team, and his feedback was honest, specific and genuinely useful. Beyond the work, he was approachable, generous with his knowledge and made everyone around him better. Every session with him felt insightful and inspiring. I'd love to work with Andre again and would recommend him without hesitation. ”
