Credit Rating Agency - Career Path

Hi - I am considering the transition to Credit Rating Agency (Manager) role from Big 4. My end goal is to land a job at Credit Fund (Structured Products/CLO)/Securitization Banking. Can anyone please provide some insights on this move? Is it better move? or should i spend more time in Big 4 and try to make a direct move to Credit Fund?

Thank you!
