I am considering pursuing opportunities in the BDC, direct lending, and private credit spaces. Ive read a lot on this forum about how PE associates can move pretty easily to corporate dev/strategy or similar roles if they eventually decide to do so, but haven't seen a ton about moving to these positions from the lending and credit world. Are these fundamentally different skill sets which makes the move a lot tougher, or is it a relatively similar recruiting experience? I understand that the longer I am in BDC/direct lending/private credit the more pigeonholed I may get, so let's assume I would want to do this after a 2 or 3 year stint as an associate in NYC or Boston. Any insights would be appreciated- thanks in advance.
