Is it common to intern one firm and get a full time job at another?

I have an internship at a Big 4 accounting firm in tax services finance focus (M&A, Transfer Pricing, etc). I don’t think this is where I want to be forever and want to see if it’s common for people get into a bulge bracket job in S&T or IB after an internship at a Big 4 accounting firm?

Im an accounting and finance double major.
