Lateral/Exit Opportunities from SF to NY?

Hey all,

For some background, I'm a native New Yorker who accepted a FT IB offer for a MM Bank's San Francisco office. The job is obviously focused around Tech/Healthcare -- two industries I am excited to work with. However, a major concern that has lasted in the back of my mind are exit/lateral opportunities moving forward, whether it be to another bank or buy-side. Am I at a disadvantage compared to those working in NYC if I want to move there eventually?
