What is considered opportunistic / high-yield on the debt side?

I want to work on opportunistic / higher-yielding deals. I know what to look for on the equity side, but what should I look for on the debt side? What are target returns for a firm focused on high-yield debt? What about bridge loans or CMBS - are they considered opportunistic? What positions can lead to MF debt roles later on?
