Bain Partner here. I think the right question to ask is “which firm can I be successful in the long term.” In other words, where can you find the people and projects that keep you happy for a decade plus? Once you make partner the economics will be just fine at either firm and highly dependent on how productive (projects sold and served) you are.

Not at either firm, but this seems extremely logical. I assume partner comp everywhere depends on how successful you are.

Maybe try getting hired first. Pay is not the big difference. Meet people and get a feel for the culture, working styles, etc
