Trying to move to investment side of private credit

Hey everyone, 

In a bit of a pickle. I just switched jobs from a somewhat technical product role to another more client-facing product role at a private credit firm. However, after a few months on the job, I have felt that I made a mistake. I am hoping to move to the investment side but I do not have an IB background, preferably in private credit. Does anyone know any firms that hire from non-IB backgrounds? Any other tips? Thanks, appreciate it!
