Hi WSO, would like to understand what it takes to break into the private debt space. Mostly interned with FoF shops and took classes on PE/VC, so my knowledge on the private debt field is limited. I realised there are good overview for other asset classes (Infrastructure, traditional PE, Real Estate) but few for private debt. Love to know how I can better equip myself for a potential private debt interview.
Appreciate all help immensely!
