I'm an incoming SA at a BB in their tech group. I was originally targeting restructuring groups but struck out during recruiting. How hard would it be to recruit for a restructuring group for FT from a BB tech group? I just want to see if it'd be worth the effort to try because I'd imagine it'd be pretty hard without any prior RX experience.

You could do it for sure. Why restructuring though? Never heard of someone targeting it, especially at the SA level
I genuinely think the work is more interesting. I also have interest in potentially pursuing distressed investing and doing restructuring first would be an easier path towards that.
Actually in your same situation, interviewed at PJT but inexplicably didn't get it. I believe during the first years the transition is quite straightforward if you are in a BB, especially GS/MS/JPM
Inexplicably didn't get a job at pjt?
So you're also going to SA at a BB? How are you going to approach FT recruiting for RX? Unfortunately I'm not going tp GS/MS/JPM but to a respectable group at a mid-tier BB

I know someone who did this. But he was from a very reputable group at his BB, and decided he didn't like the specific coverage sector. He was able to end up at a PJT/HL RX full-time role.
Definitely happens. If you're at a decent shop for SA (and you got an FT offer), you'll get RX interviews. Once you're there, its really just down to performance.
