Bulge Bracket ABF/Structured Credit -> Distressed Debt

Hi there, 

Curious to hear thoughts about moving from a bulge bracket ABF/structured credit seat to a distressed debt/opportunistic credit seat? 

Current seat is strongly focused on non-perfroming assets (financial and hard assets) across a range of sectors and corporate contexts. Depending on deal, can be very corporate focused alongside the typical ABF/structured finance technicals. 

Would be great to hear thoughts on moving directly to a distressed debt or opportunistic credit seat from people!
