Secondary Advisory/PCA

Prepping for the upcoming recruiting season so would really appreciate opinions on this. Pretty limited info so far. 

1. Is secondary advisory technically/intellectually stimulating? How different it is from coverage IB?

2. Pay/hours/culture/exits at top shops like EVR/LAZ/PJT?
