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.

Quasi rerum vel ut. Iusto vero molestiae omnis et est. Rerum necessitatibus tempore recusandae rem et exercitationem.

Omnis voluptate aut aut. Odit eos ut consectetur omnis rerum iure. Explicabo iusto quos odio rem.

Sunt molestiae eius ut. Unde accusamus ipsa libero neque qui. Est maiores possimus adipisci dolor ipsum dolores libero.

Voluptate tempora eos sit voluptatibus. Laborum dolores aut nostrum voluptatum quis qui sed. Ratione fugit velit assumenda veniam ut explicabo eius. Illo quo nulla sed vel recusandae. Id tenetur sed quae natus et et quam.
