Guggenheim Structured Products Origination

I am an incoming SA '25 for Guggenheim's SPO Group. I have learned a lot through speaking with members on the team. However, I also wanted to gain some candid feedback as well. 

Curious to learn more about: Hours? Culture? Exits?

Are exits mostly into private credit and structured credit funds? If I realize after this summer that SPO is not more me and want a coverage role, how open is Guggenheim to internal laterals? 

Would love to hear anyone's input!
