Private Capital Advisory opportunity?

Hi guys,

I was recently offered the opportunity to work as an SA for an EB's Private Capital Advisory branch. While I consider myself very fortunate to have been extended the offer, I never truly considered a position in PCA until someone suggested I apply. As applications for many BB's and other firms are now underway, I'm currently weighing this opportunity with the possibility of other roles that I feel at least more informed about (i.e. typical coverage/product groups).

Can anyone offer any insight/advice on this? What are the exit opportunities within PCA like? Are people able to lateral positions within the firm?

Thanks for your help!
