DE Shaw Credit Opportunities vs. Sankaty Advisors Analyst (Pre-MBA)

Hey,

There have been a few posts about Sankaty, but I wanted to ask as to whether anyone knew about DE Shaw's Credit Opportunities Analyst role, and how it would compare against Sankaty's Analyst position (similar job descriptions), in terms of culture, hours, quality of work and training (I expect pay for both positions to be roughly in line) - specifically for positions in London.

Thanks

It seems like both opportunities are available for people straight out of undergrad - I personally just spent a year as an Assistant Trader at a prop trading house, and now am at the preliminary stages of interviewing with DE Shaw - thanks
