Stay on acquisitions or pivot to credit?

Coming up on my second year at my current firm, think large GP. Have been doing mainly traditional acquisitions for the last 2ish years or so, and have the opportunity to pivot and keep doing acquisitions on a new team (same company) covering new regions or switch to our credit team. Curious if anyone has made a similar pivot and if so were you glad you did so? Don’t think I have interest in credit long term, but think it could be very beneficial to learn. Any insights appreciated!
