I’m a credit analyst (rating agency experience) and have an opportunity to either move into:

1: Public fixed income portfolio / investment analyst role. Typically a buy & hold IG strategy.

Or

2: Private Credit analyst role involving origination, structuring, investment & monitoring.

What do people find more appealing assuming identical comp?

Hi just wondering how many years of credit rating experience do you have and was it difficult to land offers in those roles?

I have 6 years of experience, 3 years rating agency and 3 years buy side alternatives (not exactly fixed income).

I went with the private credit role in the end. It was initially difficult to get an interview but once I did get them, it wasn’t so difficult to land. I put a lot of work in for the interview given how hard it was to come by.

Hey fishes. I have been offered Management Consultant role with CTC break up in terms of JB, RB, fixed and variable.
