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.

its gonna be way easier to start in NYC and then go to LDN as an associate at certain banks like GS, Barclays, and more that actually encourage things like this
