Moving from EY FSO BAP (Business Advisor Program) to PI (Performance Improvement)

I will be starting work (FT) at EY in their BAP program soon. I realize that this limits my clients to FSO clients, which is fine for now, but after a year or two I would like the opportunity to work with non financial services clients. I am wondering how easy it would be to move into their PI group, and what the pay differential will be (I've heard it's lower, can anyone confirm).

Also any details on salary progression in BAP & PI would be great.

Cant comment on BAP, but PI (Performance Improvement) is their term for Strategy & Ops, so its more of the MC Arm. Again, not sure how BAP relates to that.

FSO (Financial Services Office, I think) is more of a industry designation. EY has a big presence in the FS industry so they created FSO to separate it out.

For what its worth, folks in FSO also apparently get paid more than those who aren't.
