Frequently Asked Questions
How is a private credit resume different from private equity?
Private credit resumes center on credit judgment — underwriting discipline, downside protection, and covenant structuring — rather than equity value creation. We help you emphasize risk-adjusted returns, portfolio loss rates, and borrower monitoring rather than IRRs and MOIC. The narrative shifts from 'I built value' to 'I protected capital and priced risk correctly.'
What metrics matter most for private credit roles?
Hiring managers want to see committed capital originated, number of deals closed, portfolio size under monitoring, covenant compliance rates, default and loss metrics, and yield/spread performance. We'll help you quantify your full credit lifecycle — from origination through portfolio exit or repayment.
How do I transition from leveraged finance banking to private credit?
We reposition your leveraged finance experience around credit ownership and principal investing. Instead of highlighting syndication and execution, we frame your work around credit selection, hold vs. sell decisions, borrower diligence, and the underwriting judgment that direct lenders value most. Sponsor relationships translate directly — we make sure that shows.
Do you cover both sponsor and non-sponsor direct lending?
Yes. Whether you focus on sponsor-backed middle-market lending, non-sponsor direct origination, asset-based lending, or specialty finance, we tailor the positioning to your target strategy. Each sub-vertical has different expectations, and we calibrate your resume accordingly.
