Based on previous WSO threads, King Street Capital is a well-regarded hedge fund with a focus on distressed and opportunistic credit strategies. While specific details about the London Opp. Credit Team's culture aren't explicitly mentioned, the firm overall is known for being selective and maintaining a relatively stable team, which suggests lower churn.

In terms of intensity, hedge funds like King Street typically attract high-performing individuals, so the environment is likely demanding but professional. They are still considered a hedge-fund-style fund, focusing on distressed debt, special situations, and opportunistic credit investments.

Compensation at hedge funds like King Street is generally competitive. For example, in London, first-year compensation at distressed/opportunistic credit funds can range around £150,000-£160,000 (including bonus) for junior roles, as shared in other WSO threads.
