Sell side credit research exit opportunities

I will be interning at a BB this summer in their credit research division. Can people working at the buyside or doing credit research comment on the exit opportunities for the same. I am interested in knowing if hedge funds and asset managers hire from credit research at banks and what kind of funds do credit research analysts usually end up at.
