T1 Econ consulting to MBB lateral hire

I'm a new analyst at a T1 econ consulting firm (think Cornerstone Research/Analysis Group/Charles River Associates/...) from a T10 undergrad. I have been on the job for 2 months now and was wondering if MBB has a pipeline for econ consulting lateral hires after 1-2 years? If so, what would the process for an experienced hire look like? Or would I just go through the same process as a new hire?

I'm mainly looking for roles in Chicago if location is an important factor, but I am willing to relocate.
