3+ years as a PE associate and interviewing to transition to PC/DL/OC.
Those in the space, any thoughts on what level / title I should expect / be asking to enter at (Ass., Sr. Ass., etc.) given no previous credit / lending experience?
Thanks, and understand that nomenclature of titles can slightly vary by firm.
EDIT: Moving this to CR forum.
