What group are they in. I did a summer there and for SAs it wasn’t bad at all. 

 

Applied a few days ago, in the same boat, no communications yet, thought it was because I applied only recently, but looks like it's the case for everyone.

 

still nothing? did anyone network or get info regarding timeline, # spots, etc.

 

If we're talking about their bread-and-butter opportunities strategy, there are only a handful of funds to perhaps consider above them in the space. Apollo Hybrid Value, Oaktree Opportunities, and Ares SOF are the three main ones for me that come to mind. Would likely take Sixth Street over KKR Special Situations, Blackstone Tac Opps, Carlyle Distressed and Special Situations, and Bain Credit/Special Sits for an associate role. However, besides Carlyle, these are all really within the top echelon of funds. Have heard good things about PIMCO Alt Credit too but can't speak to it personally.

Then we get into hedge funds which is a whole another thing to unravel.

 

I was invited to do a first round for their structured credit team late May but then I got an offer from BB so I dropped out of the race.

 

Commodi est neque nesciunt beatae. Assumenda dolor sed ut doloribus impedit velit aut. Voluptatum aut aliquid ut. Ex sint aspernatur porro. Quo incidunt illo sit expedita.
