Special Situations Group at BBs

How hard is it to get into these groups (typically under FICC S&T) at places like MS and BAML right out of undergrad? I’ve done some research on LinkedIn and it seems like there are barely any analysts in these roles, with most individuals transitioning as associates from IB/DCM, research, or other fixed income trading areas. What are the typical exit opportunities from these groups?
