Whitehorse (HIG Credit) - Thoughts?

Looking for honest feedback on Whitehorse (direct lending / private credit arm of HIG) - especially Miami office but in general is great too. I know both HIG and its distressed arm (Bayside) are sharp-elbowed cultures and sweaty. A recruiter told me Whitehorse isn’t the same but I take that with a grain of salt.


Any detail on (i) culture, (ii) comp, (iii) hold size, etc?


Thanks all.

 

Interviewed there. MD started off saying they work hard. Split b/w Orig and UW. They actually have senior MDs on the underwriting side in addition to the originator. Deal team would also have 2 more people at the junior level (VP/Principal and Associate / Sr. Associate). Seemed like a rough culture. If you want to go through that might as well try to get the best brand you can.

 

Sweaty AF because they do high quality diligence. But long hours with a general lack of respect for juniors including their WLB.
