IB Credit Risk to Buyside Debt

Hi all,

(a) As above, how possible is the move to either liquid credit / private credit? and (b) Do you suggest lateralling to IB Lev Fin (will be under a CIB umbrella) as an intermediate step.

Potentially moving into IB Credit Risk at a BB where credit risk mainly has a review and approve function (model, credit paper, etc. are handed off to IB / CB). I would still have access to DD, models, etc. but would mainly be offering an independent opinion on the counterparty / transaction.

I've done a LinkedIn search and have reached out for advice on the above as well - just wanting to see whether WSO has any examples that could corroborate my findings.

Thanks in advance!
