The High Yield Harry Guide to High Yield

The High Yield Harry Guide to High Yield: How to land a career in Private Credit, Direct Lending, and High Yield Credit.

Okay – so here we go – here’s High Yield Harry’s thoughts on grappling the basics of where one could work in credit + recruiting, as well as the names of 200+ firms in the credit space.

As most of you probably know, the amount of information online related to Credit is rather limited relative to all these Investment Banking and Private Equity guides out there. But as we know, the credit space is a pretty lucrative when you get farther along and the space is growing quickly. The compensation survey from a couple months ago lays this out well.

Therefore, this resource and the resources on my website are really the best and top private credit/direct lending courses and high yield credit analyst courses out there. Plus, it’s at a much better price point relative to courses that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Thankfully, one of the things I can do with the account is to continue to aggregate and provide helpful information regarding the market that will only become more and more relevant the more the account grows. Obviously, I can’t do it on my own and it’s only possible because of everyone that provides anonymous comp data + anonymous anecdotal information – so thank you, y’all rock.

It’s a lot of work to land a job in Private Credit or High Yield Credit - but you don’t need to be an Investment Banker to get a Credit job!
