Prospect vs Varagon DL
Title says it all. Thoughts on these firms? If you had the choice, where would you work and why? How does comp, culture, and other important factors differ?

Hi Analyst 2 in IB - Cov, any of these discussions helpful:

Prospect will give you a broader experience across opportunistic credit, private equity, real estate, etc. that will provide you a more robust and marketable skillset. However, I hear the culture is not great and that there has been a lot of attrition. Varagon is a leader in the MM private debt space, typically doing sponsor finance deals. They have a relatively large hold size and as such, are able to compete with some of the larger MM lending players. If you're thinking shorter term and want a more robust, comprehensive experience I would go with Prospect whereas if you are looking for a home and are OK doing sponsor finance then go Varagon.
Thank you, SBed. I’m looking for sponsor finance.
