Lateral London

How difficult is it really to lateral from a low BB to GS/MS/JPM? Friends are telling me after 1 year it is fairly easy and even more at the associate level. Also just quickly looked up on LinkedIn and many associates at GS are lateral hires even from some places you wouldn’t expect

I have 1.5 year of IB internship experience + 6 month of MF PE and I have connections with 2-3 heads of at the top 3 thanks to my colleagues in PE who put a good word for me. Is it realistic to lateral after 6 months? I really want to make the move asap.
