Lateral from Structured Products

Hi all - currently a first year working at a lower-tier BB in a structured products role (think MBS, ABF, CDOs, etc.). Group is highly ranked, but there isn't much modeling to this role, given that structured products modeling is done in Intex and usually not by first-year banking analysts. Given that PE recruiting is coming earlier and earlier, I was interested in lateraling to another bank in a RX or credit role to get some modeling exposure before thinking about the buy side. Is there any word on the street regarding RX groups that have historically hired laterals? Additionally, what credit roles should I be looking at if I am interested in working in distressed credit later on? Thanks all!
