For instance, let's say a person has signed to lateral to another bank some time in the near future (let's just say January, 2020). Shortly after (at the present time), that person also signs with a PE firm for June, 2020 or January, 2021. So the whole point here is about signing 2 offers before even starting at the first. What might be some implications, if any?

Non-issue assuming you aren't screwing them over with an upfront investment in a resource that bounces in 6 months.

Savage mode: get another FT during the interim at firm 1 and build your harem of hiring managers.
what do you mean by "upfront investment"? The signing bonus? I believe that needs to be repaid on a prorated basis. Still, taking a fraction of that with no intention of staying is the moral dilemma here.
$ that go into hiring, training, onboarding, etc.
Firm #1 just spent $10s of thousands on the hiring and candidate search process. Thousands of $ more in onboarding and training (actual investments and time investments for resource allocation to make you more than completely useless)
You dump them rapidly after signing on and I guarantee you are on the hiring manager or founder's shit list - good luck getting terrible reference callbacks or worse: blacklisted if you piss the company off
You have no moral obligation to a corporation
