Bank Workout Group to Private Credit?

Starting in credit risk workout & recovery at a BB, managing a distressed book split between sponsor-backed corporates and CRE.

Day-to-day: quarterly/annual reviews and internal ratings, recovery/downside analysis, assisting senior credit officers on amendments, in-court and out-of-court restructurings, and exit financings out of Chapter 11, plus provisioning and audit/reg exam work.

Is 2-3 years here a legit path into private credit with a bunch of networking? Or are there other exits that are more plausible
