Additionally, other firms mentioned in WSO threads include:

These firms are known for competitive compensation and strong exit opportunities into private credit, distressed investing, leveraged finance, or MBA programs.

Respectfully i dont think you should be commenting on comp if you dont know DK and are a high school senior. Most of these firms will hit 160-170 besides some of the insurance arms

 

Thanks for the list! I guess I'm look now for more maybe direct lending. (maybe abf or liquid). ig as far as that goes the only names for DL are BC partners, Ares, Blackstone, Bain Cap, oak hill right. I tried checking and it seems like antares and golub dont have interns this past summer and neither did blue owl for direct lending.
