Starting buyside in London, can I still move to IB?

Hey monkeys (ignore title).

Beginning at well-known PE shop’s analyst program soon. Curious if I ever want to move back to IB, would I be able to? Just want to make options for me as wide as possible - you never know.

Would love if people shared their recruiting experiences coming from buyside PE to IBD at BB/EB
