Able to switch from MBB -> LS boutique?

Okay so I’m a recent undergrad with a life sciences degree from a t50 public school (UGA, Mich, UVA, UNC) that interned at a LS boutique (Triangle Insights, ClearView, IQVIA, LEK) and am now incoming FT at MBB. If I end up not liking MBB after 1-2 years would I have a good chance of returning to my former firm or joining another LS boutique?
