Scared of being pigeonholed into consumer debt from

Hi, I'm a fresh grad from an ivy, I started at a hedge fund that mostly invests consumer credit. I've found the analysis and work done for consumer level loan and mortgages is not that interesting to me, I really dont want to be pigeonholed into this for the rest of my career and would rather analyze corporate financials, either for equity or credit. Does anyone have advice on making a jump to a more corporate finance focused role, at some point in your career. I'm really just worried I'm never going to have the opportunity to learn the skills required for any other analysis if I start out doing consumer debt. Also can I get an opinion on my salary, I feel like I'm being underpaid: 80k + 10k expected bonus,  50-60 hours a week, no weekend work
