A quick search on Google/Linkedin shows that GSO does take credit summer analysts - are you suggesting that these profiles are mistaken?
let me elaborate.
for investing roles, they do not take summer or ft analysts out from undergrad.
the summer analysts and full time analysts that you see are legal/irbd (investor relations).
GSO has an analyst program for their Liquid Credit Strategies group for analysts out of Undergrad. if I remember correctly LCS is essentially their leveraged loan investing platform. dont remember strategy AUM but I think it is online, but they are huge. Get first looks on newly syndicated deals and are very active in the secondary market. It is a fairly new analyst program. 2 yr program, great for learning how to become a fundamental credit investor right out of college. I interviewed with them recently. Surprisingly very friendly and down to earth group (as far as I could tell from super day). Competitive process, Interviews similar to that of an IBD interview but credit focused. Competitive process, not many kids at the super day, all seemed top tier as expected. No analysts out of school in Distressed, special sits, or private credit strategies as far as I know, maybe some after 1 or 2 yrs of IB.
wow was this recruiting process in April/May?
This was in September.
Do you know if the LCS or distressed groups would be looking to take an analyst who already has 1-2 years of fundamental credit analysis under their belt?
I’m sure they take laterals or hire associates through the normal head hunter process (which i think is group specific, as in LCS will run a process, distressed will run their own), but the analyst programs are typically only for those coming out of college. With experience you would most likely have to go through the HH process. Not the most qualified to answer, but would suggest finding out which HH covers GSO and try and get on their radar. A lot of distressed funds have been raising a ton of capital and hiring so now may be a good time.
what are some credit-focused technicals? should i read up on the RX part of the M&I guide
1st round interview?
I’d disagree. Not totally sure what “GSO” is but a USC buddy of mine interned at Blackstone in Cali as a summer analyst and later took a full time offer.
I’m a real idiot GSO is a specific group aren’t they
yes. Blackstone - GSO Capital Partners. it is the credit fund within Blackstone. very well regarded credit fund w/ a strong track record, though their distressed fund has not been performing well considering their energy investments.

Damn bruh why you gotta dox like that. When you see people post dumb shit like the friend did, you kindly comment that they’re giving away too much personal info. Now you don’t even have to make people work to find the kid lol
First, don't use a specific kids name... Second, its not him anyways
