Public Credit Investment Analyst & Associate

What is the market pay for public credit Analysts in London? Is it in line with direct lending or is there a pay cut to be considered? 

While it's probably not as exciting as direct lending I am wondering more and more if this would not be a good option offering a good WLB, attachment to markets and (hopefully) good teams. Would appreciate any insights you might have from credit shops in London.
