Private Credit potential from GS?

I’m entering into Hedge Fund Credit/Risk for GS after undergrad as an analyst. We talk directly to many heavy hitters in the HF space and do quite a bit of underwriting and counterparty risk for the margin we provide.

I want to move into more of a private credit or direct lending type of role in the long term. Wanted to gauge the potential here from some people in the industry. Thoughts? Thank you in advance!
