Distressed Credit to DCM/RX ?

Just started as intern at an asset manager (~€40bn AUM) focused on distressed credit, with additional advisory in credit servicing and restructuring (NPLs/UTPs). I’m part of the Distressed Credit Management department, where I’m involved across the full lifecycle (from portfolio analysis and client meetings to business plan assessment and monitoring).

How realistic would it be to aim for a move into DCM, RX, or LevFin afterward at a BB/MM? My plan is to gain experience here through an internship and then pursue an off-cycle opportunity  while networking (non-target background).
