Private Debt Compensation

Hi all- private debt seems to be discussed much less than traditional buyout or other more common private markets roles. Does anyone have any color on working in private debt (compensation/lifestyle)? Thanks!

Did an internship last year at a private debt in Asia, AUM around 1.5B USD. MDs were usually former Director level ppl from BB. Heard their compensation (including bonus) were around 100K. Not so sure about associate level.
