RE-RECRUITING WITH PCA?

Curious to hear a couple things for those who are working/interned/recruiting in PCA.

1) What are the exit opportunities for PCA outside of IR/Secondaries? Is it possible to break out of secondaries?

2) What firms are looking to snag up PCA candidates as the market grows?

3) Can you move internally within banks that have PCA groups?

4) Has anyone re-recruited with PCA on their resume successfully to leave the space?

Thanks all
