CRA Public Finance

I am a recent graduate starting at a Big 3 CRA (Moody's, S&P, and Fitch) this upcoming month. My hope is to gain the necessary skills from the CRA and exit to the Buy Side. What are my exit opportunities if I am covering Healthcare and Higher Education in the Public Finance Group? I am assuming HF/AM Munis is an option with the right networking, but what else is out there for someone in my position?
