Credit ratings exit op?
Joined as an infra credit rating junior at a Big-3 CRA for around a year, would like to learn more about the exits.
Saw on LinkedIn there were people who moved to infrastructure coverage (M&A/debt advisory). However spoke with a headhunter with many years of exp, that he was never able to place people from CRAs to M&A.
I do understand from this forum that structured finance exits are pretty common, but how difficult would it be to break into a coverage team with such a background?

I worked at one. Common exits for analysts included high yield credit research, LevFin credit risk, private credit investing, fixed income portfolio management. You might be noticing a theme...
There were also random one offs like IB coverage, wealth management, consulting. Pure m&a not a great fit since you would be lacking in a ton of skill areas.
I left to credit risk and moved to LevFin IB.
Mind me asking, did you work in ABS/structured products, or in an industry coverage team?
