How possible are lateral moves in credit research

Starting soon in a buyside credit research role and hoping to be successful at the firm I am at and remain there, but was wondering if it did not work out, is it hard to find another job in this field with the low level of turnover in the space?
 

Additionally, would coverage space such as sector or IG vs HY have an impact there and how is the mobility there?

If anyone has any advice for being successful as a junior that would be incredibly helpful as well!

Thank you so much in advance, this website has always been extremely helpful to me.
