Boston Private Equity Culture?
I've heard that the culture in Boston PE is better than NY PE in terms of lifestyle and hours? Anybody have an idea of what it is like at places like Bain and THL?

PE_guy19, hey, look at the bright side, at least you didn't get a ton of monkey shit thrown at you...here is my best guess on threads that might be helpful:

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
I can’t speak to Bain / THL or any of the other larger PE firms in Boston. I can say that PE hours in Boston are very firm dependent and are, on average, better than New York funds. My network is somewhat limited, but the datapoints I do have would suggest that Boston folks tend to value facetime slightly less (with some known exceptions such as Audax) and tend to be less cutthroat. However, it is important that you do your diligence on whichever firm you join because the variability in PE culture is much more massive than banking/consulting. Even individuals within PE firms can take different approaches to how they manage analysts / associates so working with one Partner could be vastly different than another Partner in the same firm.
Have heard good things in terms of culture and hours at Bain. Relatively large associate classes make hours not as bad. Have heard mixed things about THL. Heard culture can be toxic and compensation is not adjusted accordingly. Also have heard people love THL.
