I'm debating between two different opportunities at a large AM: equity analyst or high yield credit analyst. What's the better place to be -- or is it a matter of personality, upside vs. downside? Also feel like the equities space is competitive and under pressure from passive but not sure if that matters.

Ultimately this depends on your interests. With HY you'll likely end up looking at a variety of securities including equity (ex: when a company restructures).
