CLO Secondary Trading Lifestyle

The life on a CLO secondary trading desk isn't really covered on this forum too well.

Can anyone from the sell-side speak lifestyle, responsibilities, and market/product outlook going forward in terms of career trajectory? Any level would be helpful, but please answer in terms that would be relatable to someone joining the business as an analyst.
