Seeking advice for Credit Risk at Top Tier BB (JPM/GS/MS)

Hello fellow chimps, recently got offered an FT analyst position at a top-tier BB (JPM/GS/MS) for their Credit Risk Analyst position. Roles and Responsibilities include:

  • Performing necessary credit due diligence and analysis on borrowers and trading counterparties
  • Reviewing and recommending for approval credit risk-related transactions
  • Conduct industry research and develop sovereign and macro risk views to aid credit decisions
  • Conduct client calls, perform independent research and establish credit rating of counterparties
  • Prepare loan and annual review memos for active/potential counterparties with credit limits
  • Review loan / derivative documentation with counterparties to ensure strong credit term protection
  • Monitor portfolio quality on an ongoing basis and recommend rating actions/asset classification

I would appreciate it if experienced professionals could shed light on some of the exit opportunities available for this position. I understand from other forums that potential exits include distressed debt investing/ trading roles, Corporate Finance, IBD, Credit Funds, etc.  However, I would very much like to know how one can position for such exits.

Open to any advice/ guidance.
