LevFin to Credit HF?

Ignore my title.

Current at a LevFin without modeling group (more like syndicate), chances to exit to Credit HF (distress/structuring/Asset Back) after my analyst stint ends? 

Do I need to lateral to coverage/S&T for better shot at Credit HF? 

How is the career progression/salary look like for junior/mid-level people at a Credit HF?
