Private Credit/Private Debt/Direct Lending - London

I wanted to know what people's thoughts are on a career in private credit/debt/DL in London. I see a lot of posts but they all seem to relate to across the pond. From what I have read the WLB seems to be slightly better than IB/PE with a comp that reflects it. Is this true?

Would appreciate any insight on what the UK/LDN scene is like especially around long term career/WLB/comp.

(FYI currently at Big 4 looking at potential exit ops).
