Early Career Advice

Hi Monkeys, currently finishing up my Credit Trading internship at a BB and I have the option of selecting a Trading or Desk Analyst seat on one of the three desks:

  • Investment Grade Credit
  • High Yield Credit
  • Distressed Credit

Currently stuck at crossroads between the desks.

With your insider perspective and experiences can you share some advice on where the largest opportunity can exist?
