IG Bond Investing Career Trajectory

Was wondering if anyone here ever was in a buyside IG bond investing role and had the following questions:

-How did you like investing in IG? Did you feel like you learned a good skill set?
-When wanting to transition to HY bond investing or other types of investing on the buyside, did you have a rough time doing so?
-Does being on the buyside of IG bonds pigeonhole you to being in that space?
