It's possible - but after only 1-2 years, likely you will come in at the same level as a fresh from MBA for MBB is my understanding (I know people who've transferred after one year, though not two).

What about to a tier two strategy firm? ATK, LEK etc ?

I went from big 4 + exec mba deep into the mbb interview process. Pulled out of the onterview process when i realized i wanted to take a break from traveling.

So to answer your question...it is possible. I was being interviewed as an exp hired.
