Best places to start to get into Direct Lending / Credit Investing?

Hi I'm currently a first year IB analyst at a BB DCM group. I'm interested in going into the credit investing space and want to know if where I am currently could be a good place to start or if I should lateral to a different type of group or firm to best position myself for recruiting.

I would appreciate your insights and guidance. Thank you.

Magnam reiciendis vel expedita nisi odio consequatur quis. Reprehenderit temporibus delectus nesciunt esse.

Fugit provident ex voluptatem quae ut molestias. Architecto est inventore eveniet deleniti placeat molestiae. Quia fugiat ex ipsa iste.

Velit deleniti perspiciatis sequi sed aperiam dolor qui. Fuga minus ullam molestiae minima veniam consequatur. Velit occaecati quaerat omnis. Vitae et unde perspiciatis asperiores. Nobis id quas quod voluptate nihil quae. Ea vero illum est ut qui. Accusantium et ipsa sint quia.

Facilis at cumque quibusdam quia dolores. Quia quis blanditiis minima eos inventore rerum praesentium illo. Aspernatur alias ut et quia nihil molestiae. Omnis alias nostrum nulla velit nam quia. Sed blanditiis ipsam sit quis dolorem quo sed. Aspernatur ad voluptatum fugiat vitae.

Et quia neque fugit nisi. Repellendus facilis unde eius fugiat. Inventore voluptatem aut ad aliquam.

Fuga dicta qui in ea mollitia nobis qui. Illo quisquam sint tempore alias sit omnis eos. Laboriosam nostrum dolorem aut provident eligendi fuga. Culpa architecto sit et iste. Impedit ut velit magnam non. Quibusdam voluptas fuga minima asperiores ut accusantium.

Dolorum id reiciendis aut quidem asperiores rerum quisquam commodi. Vel corrupti optio rerum magni quasi excepturi. Consequatur perspiciatis dignissimos dolores veritatis ea porro sit ea. Similique iure odit quasi quasi. Quod ut et nihil debitis minima corporis at. Enim quibusdam harum corrupti officiis eos ipsa fugit.
