pqe cut is when they cut your pqe, which is linked to your pay.

5pqe become 3 or 2 (or 1?). Senior assoc become junior assoc.

I'm not the OP, but I think it is very difficult for a 5pqe B4 liti to move to an international firm corp department. International firms don't like having to spend time and resources to (re)train you.

I think it is very possible to seek an internal transfer within your B4 to a corp dept or move to another B4's corp dept, but same caveat - pqe cut... Also, not sure if you have the energy after 5+ years in liti to retrain as a junior corp assoc - good to see you are considering the in-house option as well.

Yes. Many are hired for their prosecuting skills required to close deals.

Yes, if you are either (1) very junior (~ 2 years in or less) or (2) <4 years with very good credentials. If not, very low chance.
