Is it difficult to transfer from London to New York after two years?

I am an American citizen at an American school. I have been recruiting for London SA at BBs because I think it would be nice to live abroad for a few years. Obviously a London SA would give a London return offer. That being said, after the two year analyst program, would it be challenging to return to New York?

If so, then I would just try to do SA in New York.
