Placement Agent/Capital Raising AN1

If you are part of Jeff/Laz/Evercore/Rede in their Primary/Capital Raising team, is it actually possible to lateral internally? Or are you better off doing anything else like Big 4 M&A/RX (if the goal is MM PE).

From what I can tell, I'd probably hate the work but willing to stick it out if I can actually switch.

I don't want to be stuck after 3 years and the best role possible is IR (not that IR is a bad role, it's just not for me otherwise I would be doing Tech Sales or Marketing).

This is for London.
