Burning bridges with MMs

I work at one of the MM funds and have an opportunity to join a different one for a 2x jump in comp/responsibility. However, I'm quite early in my career (less than 27), so somewhat worried about burning through a significant share of the industry given there are only a handful of good MMs. Does leaving a MM basically guarantee you can’t return later?
