Distressed/Special Sits Exit Ops from Traditional M&A/Coverage Banking?

I’m a sophomore currently recruiting for banking. I’m interested in Distressed/Special Sits roles long term, and am obviously recruiting for restructuring roles. Given how few spots there are though, I’m looking at more traditional banking opportunities as well. Are the exits opps I’m looking for possible from good M&A and coverage groups, and if so, what type of roles should I target? Thanks in advance.
