Curious about Charlesbank analyst program. Have seen some mixed comments on wso about the funds performance and future trajectory, but was curious whether being an analyst here would be worth it? What are comp, exits, hours, etc like?
Also curious on differences between their tech, flagship, special sits, and credit teams; will most likely be aiming for their special sits team
