Ignore title. Currently a second year analyst in the PCA group at an EB interested in lateralling to traditional coverage group. Has anyone done this before and how hard is it? Did summer at a BB coverage but recruited full-time into PCA thinking it would be very interesting and now want to switch. Still like the work I do but feel that having a few years of traditional banking experience would be helpful.

Yes definitely possible. You might take a year reset but have seen our analysts get offers / multiple looks from traditional coverage roles.
Sorry, I should clarify… what exactly are you doing within PCA?
Thanks, primarily GP-led deals
My statement still applies in that case
Great, thank you!
Would appreciate your insights on PCA, what’s it like. Currently at a big 3 rating agency within the private capital space, quite particularly the secondaries market. Looking to make a lateral soon as it’s the most relevant to my work here with funds and fund dynamics.
