Apollo Credit

Saw this question pasted on the HF forum and wanted to paste here to get people’s take. 
 

Couple questions on Apollo Credit Associate pay for their DL / private credit group: 

- On comp, do they pay lights out relative to market like their PE side? So for example, if average Comp at MF PE is $300-350ish at Aso 1, Apollo tends to pay $400+. Similarly in PC, if MFPC comp is ~$300, does Apollo pay significantly higher than this? 

- Does the PC team typically look at hairier credits like a HPS? That's what their PE team is known for so wondering whether that transfers over to the credit side (so maybe L+600-800 versus L+400) 

- What are the hours like on the credit side? Assuming not as bad as the equity team 
 

Like the OP, haven’t found clear answers to some of the questions above.
