Bain Capital Real Estate

Received first-round interview invitation from Bain Capital Real Estate for the 2023 SA role. I already have a 2023 IB SA offer from a MM firm. Looking for advice if I should proceed with the Bain interview. My focus has been on IB M&A recruiting. Don't know much about what the career path looks like after a Bain Capital Real Estate internship.

Bain Capital RE is more prestigious than any MM IB firm, excluding may.be restructuring at Houlihan Lokey. I did IB at a MM firm, work in REPE now, and Bain Capital RE still probably wouldn't interview me. Not gonna talk about career paths and shit because I'm assuming this is the only answer you're looking for... Yes, it's a big step up from Blair, Jefferies or whatever hell hole you have an offer for

 

Thanks for sharing, didn't realize Bain Captial RE is that prestigious. I know the hours are better than IB. If you don't mind, what is the ballpark number for the first-year analyst all-in comp look like?
