internal transfer to east coast

hi everyone, got an offer from an eb in tech group on west coast, (think lazard, moelis, pwp, greenhill, pjt). I really liked the people I spoke with, but I haven't liked moving to the west coast for college and can't imagine myself living long term in san francisco. do you think it's possible to lateral internally either after SA or after analyst years?
