Based on the context provided, here are some steps you might consider:
Networking: This is a crucial step in making a lateral move. Try to connect with people in the credit analyst role, learn from their experiences, and let them know about your interest in transitioning.
WSO Academy Courses: The Wall Street Oasis (WSO) Academy offers a variety of courses that could be beneficial. For instance, the Financial Modeling Courses could provide you with a solid foundation for a credit analyst role. These include Excel Modeling, Financial Statement Modeling, LBO Modeling, M&A Modeling, and Valuation Modeling.
CFA Exam: The context mentions someone preparing for the CFA Level 1 exam. This certification could be beneficial for a credit analyst role as it covers a broad range of topics in finance, including corporate finance, financial reporting, equity investments, and fixed income.
