If you fail OCR? Can you lateral?

I am a first year analyst at a mid tier bank who participated in OCR but did not get the offer I was looking for (primarily MF but got rejected from every MF process). I am thinking about lateraling up to a top group after bonus season. My question is that will I have a clean slate with the headhunters if I lateral?
