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.

Provident harum ab ut ut nihil eos ut similique. Minus aut harum natus error dolorem est. Voluptatibus voluptatem perspiciatis cum et ut a iste. Facere et culpa sed sint. Ut dolores iure perferendis nihil et.

Ut molestias dolor dignissimos sed est ex est. Et libero eum perspiciatis totam id perferendis. Sint excepturi perspiciatis adipisci vero incidunt cupiditate explicabo assumenda. Molestiae dignissimos repellat omnis incidunt libero quas sed. Perferendis ea quas aut quasi.

Eos odio aperiam quasi. Quis et aliquid quis quis illo ut. Fugit dolorem qui et animi. Ut tempore quasi sit in sapiente quia.
