Senior Associate here thinking about next career steps. I’m interested in understanding how a role at a UMM PE fund compares with a role in the private investments team of a hedge fund, particularly in credit- or value-oriented strategies (e.g. Silver Point).
Given the current environment for both PE and distressed credit, how would you compare the two paths in terms of compensation and long-term career progression?
