Advice for Senior Debt/ Credit need to know

Hi everyone,

I've recently started a role in private debt, specifically focusing on senior debt, unitranche, and first lien loans at a private equity firm. My prior experience in PE is quite limited, and I'm finding it challenging to get up to speed. 

Can anyone recommend some good primers, share tips, or suggest resources that can help me understand the key concepts in credit? I'm looking for anything that can help me build a solid foundation—whether it's podcasts, readings, training programs, or essential terms I should be familiar with. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
