How does comp vary by strategy in credit?

I'm joining a credit fund as a junior analyst after graduating and am curious how comp varies by strategy, especially at the junior level. It seems from the comments on compensation posts that pay varies widely, but rarely do posts mention strategy.

Does anyone have color on comp in Distressed, Opportunistic, Real Estate, Direct Lending, EM? I imagine pay scales with risk, but I am curious by how much.
