Career Resources
A 3.8 GPA is generally considered strong and should position you well for on-cycle recruiting at top opportunistic credit shops like Oaktree, Apollo, Ares, and major credit hedge funds. Based on the most helpful WSO content, these firms often prioritize candidates with strong academic credentials, particularly from top targets like H/W, alongside relevant experience (such as your upcoming EB FT role). While GPA is a key factor, networking, interview preparation, and demonstrating a deep understanding of credit investing will also play a critical role in securing these opportunities.
