Oaktree Private Credit?
I know that Oaktree is one of the big players in the private credit/DL space but just wanted to get more insights on their group. Interested in knowing more about the culture, hours, comp and just structure of the group. I want to develop a strong understanding if a group like this would be a good choice or if I should consider other shops if possible.

Are they big in the DL space? Thought they are more distressed/special situation.
Can't say I've seen them in large PC deals or MM club deals. Definitely known for distressed/SS.
That being said, they did just take a majority stake in 17Capital and raised $2.9bn there. Goal is for 17Capital to expand into NA deals from London base.
@OP I'd probably shop around for a bit and if nothing comes up, Oaktree isn't a bad brand name. Could be good learning and resume point.
Thanks! I have a few opportunities at some bigger names but also contemplating other options but this has been helpful!
Not a bad name? Dude, it's a great name. Sure you can get better names. Everything is relative but if you find yourself having an offer here, it's a high class problem to have.
Oaktree is a great name for sure but would the brand and experience be the same for their private credit not distressed group? At this stage I’m not looking for the most cushiest position, I want to maximize my brand and learning to some extent of course as I would avoid places like Apollo.
I don't know. Do you have an offer elsewhere? Sure, Antares does more deals than them so maybe that's a better brand for direct lending - diff. kind of shop.
There is no brand ranking it's whatever fits your goals. Kind of a moot point if you don't have 2 offers. Unless you have a second offer, or are very confident of getting something with the big guys, then this is just a speculative exercise.
On the experience, once you go through the interview process, you'll get a very good sense for what they do.
What is the latest status of this group? Saw they’re raising a $10B DL fund as of spring 2023
