M&A to Special Sits/Opportunistic PE

Wondering if it's possible to recruit for special sits or opportunistic debt/credit roles out of an EB but in M&A. Seeing some people at Oaktree from non-RX backgrounds but looks like CB/SP are dominated by RX folks. Any insight on M&A exits to special sits funds/interview prep?
