Have gotten coffee chats/ HH outreach for these firms. Bain in Boston, Carlyle in DC, H&F/TPG in SF, rest in NYC. Thoughts/potential ranking for these? Know they’re all amazing funds and would be fortunate to land a seat at any, but wanted to prioritize for coffee chats/interview requests

If anything, Bain is a step ABOVE the others, along with TPG. Not sure what you’re getting your opinion from
