Private Credit Outlook As Incoming Analyst

Hi everyone! I am graduating college this semester and I am an incoming Direct Lending analyst at a 100+ bn firm. With everything happening in Private Credit, I am a little anxious about my long-term career. What are your thoughts on Private Credit as a long-term career? If its a bad outlook, what are some exits into safer paths?
