Shuffling Game for Macro Pods

I hear a lot about good equity analysts getting snapped up by other PMs when their pods blow up. Is there something analogous for macro pods?

For instance, if I am a junior on a DM rates team that goes under, how easy / painful would it be to try to lateral to a different pod within the same MM if you’ve demonstrated a history of good research abilities and risk taking intuition? I feel like while it’s not plug and play, a lot of skills (asset class understanding, stats, whatever coding abilities) are fairly transferable across macro products.
