Apollo / Blackstone / CVC / PGIM - Leveraged Finance Associate

Wondering to get some views on what those teams are doing on a day to day basis. From what I understand they invest mostly in TLBs syndicated in the market but not sure on what there day to day would look like. Given how processes are going it feels like they dont put a lot of work in the credits? 

Is it a dead end or are there exits from there in direct lending? Would assume the WLB is good? Pay below banks / private market roles?
