High Yield Exit Opps

Hey Guys,

I am a recent grad. I have offered a high yield investment analyst position at one of the small asset management firms in London. I was trying for IB but couldn't even land an interview. I would like to know what my exit opps would like after 1 or 2 years into this role. Can I go to investment banking (leveraged finance) or distressed debt hedge fund? I would appreciate the help.
