Step by Step guide for recruiting for Private Credit from Leveraged Finance?

Hi all, I will be joining a top LevFin bank in London and would like to end up in PC/DL/Special Sits in the future. How should I play my cards coming from a non-target and non-finance background (STEM)? 

What will you have to master on the credit side of things and understand?

Technicals that are important for interviews?

Is it better to go to restructuring and then PC/DL/Special Sits to make yourself a more attractive candidate?

How does HH recruiting work?

Anything else you deem important and I have missed will be great - thank you :)
