Best places to start to get into Direct Lending / Credit Investing?

Hi I'm currently a first year IB analyst at a BB DCM group. I'm interested in going into the credit investing space and want to know if where I am currently could be a good place to start or if I should lateral to a different type of group or firm to best position myself for recruiting.

I would appreciate your insights and guidance. Thank you.
