High Yield / Leverage Loan Trading / Sales

Looking to connect with individuals in HY/LL space. Want to learn more about desk culture, day to day, and overall experience working in this space at the BBs/EBs as a trader or on a sales desk. 

Interested in pursing Ana/Ass roles on a HY/LL trading or sales desk. Have just under two yrs experience working for a regional dealer in FICC sales, covering various credit products -unfortunately, don't have much experience in the HY/LL space, but from the few people I have talked to and research I have done on my own, HY/LL is definitely the route I want to head in. 

Any insight is helpful. Cheers!
