PRIVATE FUNDS in the credit space!! I have worked for a couple credit focused investment firms. The PE HF and RE funds have seen a huge influx of capital in the last couple years and the LOVE people with credit rating backgrounds. Big firms may stay away from you bc of potential conflicts with the credit rating agencies they use. The private side loves in house pricing and rating experience for many different roles. Valuations and pricing are hugely important especially with the SEC right now so someone with your background has a good shot. Keep your head up. LinkedIn premium - pay for it. Let recruiters know you’re open for opportunities and let the games begin…

Oh one more thing. Stay away from any of the publicly traded credit shops or anything affiliated with a bank. But you probably know that already.

God speed.
