Post-SA lateral to RX

Title,

Incoming SA at a good BB (GS TMT / MS M&A)

Long story short became really interested in RX after recruiting season was all but over. Obviously happy with my placement, but RX seems really fascinating to me. I was wondering how common it was to recruit FT to Rx with a high-end return offer, or lateral FT after a few months on the desk.

Furthermore what sort of firms would be open to me? My semi-target school has never placed at PJT, but I would be happy with a generalist experience  at a good EB (where I would focus on RX), or an HL/Moelis type bank.

  1. Is this viable?

  2. Interests aside, is this a smart career move?

  3. Should I start reaching out now, or right after internship - don't want to lose return offer if word gets around.

 

Interested in RX.

Genuinely enjoyed reading through Moyer's etc

 

Its definitely possible there are often a few FT spots since a few RX SA usually recruit FT to buy-side programs. Have seen a decent amount of CS FSG do FT RX
