Recruiting for Distressed / Opportunistic Credit from LevFin

Question is in the title. I’m starting full-time at a LevFin group this summer and ultimately would like to end up in one of these buy-side roles. I know that the most seamless path is from RX, but what are my chances if lateraling isn’t an option.

Can anyone name some funds where you’ve seen this move before? If so, what are some of them? Can be public or private credit focused.

I’m ultimately trying to gauge how necessary (if at all) it is to try and lateral to RX. Don’t want to if I don’t need to.

Thanks!
