Recruiting full time IB after interning on buy side year before

How hard would it be to recruit full time for investment banking offers if you interned the summer before on the buy side at a very reputable firm (say for example at a MF but not in PE, maybe something like Blackstone Strategic Partners, KKR Credit, Carlyle Credit, etc). Thanks in advance

I know a kid who did SA at blackstone (in something like credit) and ended up at PJT RX. So yea, definitely possible.
