Hey there! It sounds like you're in a pretty good spot with a full-time offer from a well-known Private Credit firm. That's no small feat, so congrats!

As for your question about Blue Owl, it's a newer player in the space but has been making waves. While it might not have the same historical prestige as some of the firms you mentioned, it's quickly gaining a reputation for its innovative approach and strong team culture.

However, it's important to consider what you value most in your career. If prestige and the potential benefits it can bring later in your career are your top priority, sticking with your current offer might be the best move. But if you're drawn to the idea of joining a newer, potentially more dynamic firm and have heard good things about the culture, it could be worth exploring the opportunity at Blue Owl.

Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer here. It's about what feels right for you and aligns with your career goals. Good luck with your decision!

Blue Owl is hardly a newer player to credit and they’re quite scaled. I’d rank them above both MS and Carlyle credit honestly. Not sure I would advise on reneging though as private credit is a fairly small space
