Have done both a strictly private credit role and a role with both pockets of capital. If it’s truly public vs private and other things being equal I would take private. As the other user said I think you get much more of a deep dive on the actual credit work and would be more likely to be able to pick up the trading side if you moved to public in the future. Definitely a personal preference as well as I just prefer the more in depth structuring and transactional work on the private side.
