Any Chance of Switching Teams at an MF after internship?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any experience switching teams after their internship and how they went about it. I’m incoming at a MF PE/DL but as a quant researcher. I know the chance is low, but given I go to a target and know my technicals for the deal team side of things, is there any chance you think I could internally lateral post internship? Thanks!
