Advice on Lateraling

I know the lateral market is pretty bad right now but for context I'm at a big 5 in Canada (not based out of Toronto) in a coverage group and would like to lateral ideally to another big 5 or BB in Toronto with better deal flow/switch industry groups. I have just started - Should I wait till the 1-year mark to lateral or keep looking for opportunities as and when they come? Also how easy is it to lateral?
