How many of you are looking to exit into your industry?

Curious to see how many of you equity research associates/analysts plan on leaving at some point (short term or long term) to transition into a corporate role in the industry you cover. If you are, in what capacity (strategy, corp fin, IR) and how do you plan on getting there? MBA, contacts, etc.?

Something tells me it's not so easy to do, with the exception of IR. It seems as though research guys fall below banking/consulting in the pecking order.
