Private Credit to Lev Fin

Is it possible? Coming from medium sized DL firm in Chicago. I feel like I have hit a ceiling in terms of what I am learning. Any advice would be great.

Not sure what more you would be learning in lev fin at a bank? Papering deals for direct lending is probably more interesting than papering deals for credit risk committee at a BB. Maybe if you're at a small fund exposure to bigger businesses is more interesting? But can't see why anyone would want to move to lev fin from private credit.Also lev fin prob no seats now, market has been shut for a while.

I’ve had similar struggles/thoughts and have come to realize that credit is just structurally boring.
