Can you lateral in PB?
I did a SA stint in S&T but have been curious about switching over to PB but don’t want to get pigeonholed into that career. Anybody have some advice on this?

I have seen a lot of people lateral from S&T to PB (often sales). The opposite is less common imo. My $0.02 : You'll learn more starting in S&T, especially if you can sit on a structured products desk and cover PBs/Brokers, while building a network.
