High Yield Bonds or CLO desk?

Hello,

Just wanted peoples thoughts on the CLO and high yield bond spaces at the minute, particularly in terms of future growth, potential returns, risks, compensation and exit opps. Want it to be open so any opinions welcome.

I will be interviewing for a role that will force me to decide which I want to work in.

Thanks for any input.

IS.
