Private credit sure, special situations would probably be tough because you have little understanding of capital structures and equity value in a restructuring process. That and SS can cover more than just Rx but deep value focused plays.

It depends on what type of products you are creating. Some firms that specialize in distressed credit I.e. Beach Point have structured product teams within them.
Private credit seems pretty doable, know of a guy who does a lot of speciality finance corporate PC deals and can do opportunistic structured finance opportunities as well when they arise
Did he summer in StrucFin first and do fulltime in PC? Or analyst then move?
