DCM: MBS vs Credit Derivatives

Hi everyone,

Looking for some advice here, l am currently looking with great interest in a career as a DCM analyst down the road (IG or HY) I am currently working at a big name financial technology company ( think Reuters, Bloomberg, Cap IQ) working in fixed income financial analytics. I wanted to ask what do you think would open more doors for me in the future, specializing in structured products (MBS, CMBS, ABS, etc ) or specializing in credit derivatives ? What do you think may be more applicable for DCM ?

Any feedback is appreciated I know this may be very vague but just looking for some guidance here, thanks!

 

Thanks a lot really appreciate that, I say this because I see a lot of people in roles such as MS Global Capital Markets where I see many people working with derivatives but at the same time see analyst positions that work with MBS type of issuances as well ( dcm type roles)

I guess in general do you guys think there's a better future in credit derivatives vs structured finance or vice versa. Thanks everyone
