Mid career software credit analyst

Hi guys,


Title says it all. I’m a mid career credit analyst who’s focused on software in my career so far. I’m post associate/ pre MD. At this point, is it worth it to pivot to other industries? My concern is at my level, people generally want to hire for sector knowledge of what you are currently covering. There is no room for me to pivot industry internally either.
