SA at MF PC: Next Steps

Incoming at an MF in PC (mostly first-lien secured stuff). Interested in moving down the cap stack into more distressed/opportunistic investing. What do my options look like? 

If I opted not to recruit FT for something with more optionality like RX, and stayed in PC for at least my analyst years, would I be closing doors out of PC?
