Private Credit Hours

To those in Private Credit, mind sharing the size/strategy of fund (eg if MF, distressed etc) and how many hours a week you have been averaging? Are last min deal sprints common?

Thanks :)

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“I wanted to share some feedback on my sessions with Andre. Andre has deep knowledge of investment banking, and he approaches every topic very strategically. His guidance while I was preparing my interview stories was especially valuable. One thing that stood out was that even a week after our previous session, Andre remembered me and everything I had shared about my background and goals. That meant a lot to me and made our sessions much more productive. He is also very direct. He tells me clearly what works and what doesn’t, which is exactly the kind of feedback I need. At the same time, he is funny and witty, so working with him is a lot of fun. Our sessions almost always run longer than scheduled, because Andre makes sure we cover everything properly before we wrap up. He is very dedicated and very patient, and I really appreciate the time and effort he puts in. I leave every session with Andre feeling clearer and more confident about my preparation. Thank you, Andre.”

Hours in Private Credit: Typically range around 50-60 hours per week. This can sometimes be less, but for the distressed side, there are times when it can be more, although this is infrequent.
Size/Strategy of Fund:
- Mega Funds (MF): Generally, the hours are consistent with the 50-60 hour range.
- Distressed Strategies: Can occasionally require more hours, but this is not the norm.
Last Minute Deal Sprints: These are not commonly mentioned as a frequent occurrence in the context provided.
