How fked am I?

I'm an incoming commercial banking analyst at a top BB. I like credit and would like to probably stay in the field for the long term; however, I know that commercial banking isn't the best career path to start off in. 

What do you guys think I should do or try to realistically pivot into in order to be able to move into a buy-side credit role down the road?

Thanks!

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
