Need Advice on ABL Due Diligence

Hey Everyone - 

I'm contemplating and offer in ABL due diligence and was curious if others had any insight into that field as to whether or not it's worth it. Sounds like an interesting opportunity, but also I don't want to feel like I put myself in a pigeonhole since it does feel a little more niche than others. I'm a level 3 CFA candidate if that matter at all.

So my question is: what are your thoughts on ABL due diligence as a career? What are the hours like? What are the potential exit opportunities after a couple years? And overall, is this an area of credit that is desirable?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice! I'm really torn on what to do so anything is better than nothing
