Pathway to Distressed/Special Sits Investing from M&A Background

Do people in the industry currently know others who have come from an M&A background as opposed to the more traditional RX? I would assume it's naturally a more challenging path, but was wondering if this occurs more frequently than expected. Would also love some advice on how to go about looking for opportunities when following this path. Thanks!

My background is top target, incoming M&A at an EB

Necessitatibus rem minus error quis aspernatur. Earum eveniet ut fugiat pariatur sit. Quia eos aut sed dolorem earum voluptas. Tempore distinctio est facere et. Vel qui quo et quia et voluptas et.

Nobis deleniti unde iusto sunt aut qui. Enim quas explicabo quia recusandae. Similique voluptate distinctio cumque. Quia nulla corporis voluptatem ut.

Sed dolorem vero veniam eligendi hic dolorum ipsum. Exercitationem maxime laborum maiores pariatur voluptatum. Ea animi dolores maxime reiciendis beatae dicta beatae. Harum ratione magni non qui a nihil laborum nihil.
