Private Credit Datapoints

BX, KKR, APO, Sixth Street, Ares, CAR, Oaktree, Blue Owl, HPS, Golub, etc.

  1. What are the top few private credit platforms to join as an associate?
  2. What are the hours like in these roles for direct lending/private credit as opposed to BSL/liquid performing?
  3. What does comp look like base bonus when does carry kick in?
  4. What is culture like / where should I go for best culture?

ANY anecdotal datapoints are much appreciated.
