Lateralling Banks before Buyside recruiting

Interested in how lateraling banks would affect buy-side recruiting. How does it work for buy-side recruiting if you lateral from a middle-market to an EB or BB during your first year on the desk? With buy-side recruiting so accelerated these days it seems like there would be no benefit of lateraling to a better bank. If you do decide to later though would it benefit you to push your on cycle back a year or try to find something off cycle. Appreciate any insight in advance.
