Thoughts on Bain Capital and Advent (the two most prominent Boston-based PE funds)? Which would you rather have as your client and which would you rather join?

I've worked with both extensively and I'd chose Bain for both a client or employer, but they are both good places. They both pay top dollar as a client and employer and both work on similar sized deal. Also I've enjoyed the people I've worked with at both. With that said, Bain tends to be much more macro focused while Advent tries to "model the world" on their engagements. Advents dilligance process is generally more rigorous and it wears down the entire deal team.
