Is RX FT Prep Worthwhile?

Incoming Generalist SA interested in RX. But I understand the prep necessary, and do not want to sacrifice time performing during my SA stint if it will be moot in the end. 

Long story short: Do RX FT spots open up? Is Generalist SA to RX FT common? Is it worth prepping or has the ship sailed on RX for me?

No one can project whether Rx spots will open up even if it has opened up in previous years. You can get interviews if you can communicate your interest in Rx in chats and you have a strong brand name as SA. If you dont want to invest the time then dont. RO will be paramount for everything even if you dont want to stay there FT.
