Buyside lateral - chances?

Advice needed on my chances at lateral recruiting:

a year and a half ago I was hired out of school by a large global credit fund (sponsor focused deals-recap, acquisition fin etc.). In this time i've managed to look at 100+ deals and closed in excess of 5 as well as a few restructurings... A situation arose forcing me to look at alternatives such as lateral hiring ( can be distressed, credit, equity funds), what do you guys think my chnces are in the next few months?

Thanks
