Reason for Recruiting FT For Another MBB After Interning at Another

While this is quite early, I am wondering if it is a valid reason to lateral into another MBB (McK) because of career progression differences? I know that McK they have a BA -> EM track, which I am really interested in. Is that a valid reason to lateral? Should I wait until the internship or would that be too late? There are a few threads that recommend getting in touch with recruiters early, but now there's no real "performance issue" given MBBs gave out full time offers already. Is acting early helpful?
