What are the largest, highest-paying, "most prestigious" alternative asset managers focused on credit which aren't public?

Hi! I was just curious considering that Oaktree is now majority-owned by Brookfield and some of the biggest names in alternative asset management credit (GSO, Ares, KKR) are public. What other large institutional alternative asset managers (i guess like Bain Credit) are there focused on credit. Am I also wrong to assume that private alternative asset managers would pay greater at the senior/mid/junior levels considering more of the carry would go direct to employees, rather than shareholders?

Just want to better understand from a career perspective.
