Structured Finance outlook and exit opportunities

I have a great opportunity to join a ABS or CLO origination/structuring team at a BB, and it seems like a very interesting role. Seems like hours are less than traditional IB, and pay is similar at the analyst level.

However, I am wondering about exit opps for a role like this, as well as the industry outlook. I would really appreciate any insight from anyone who has works or has worked in structured finance before.

Thanks!
