Possibility to lateral?

Recently received an offer in the US for an Economic consulting firm (Cornerstone/CRA/NERA) for full time.  Junior summer worked in a BB as an S&T SA. Is it possible to lateral to IB in New York? Given that I am an international student, I would only have 2 years of OPT by the time I can lateral (6-12 months of work), is it better to try to lateral to London instead (I can work in the UK)?  

Thanks.
