First Internship in Audit (hard to change fields in the future? -->IB, AM, Consulting etc)

Hello all. I'm a rising junior at one of the undergraduate business schools in the state. I will be starting my first internship at one of the Big 4 at Seoul in the Banking and Finance Audit team.

I heard that once you stay in audit, it's hard to transfer to other fields, such as IB, consulting, AM etc. Will starting my first internship in the audit team decrease my chance of finding an internship in other fields?

Thank you very much.
