If you leave early enough, good chance that other firms will take you.
If you stay longer than a year + ... it will be difficult. Even if you do find a firm willing to take you, you should be prepared to take a pay cut (back to NQ as opposed to PQE1).
Many gen lit law firms do family work. That would be a better option if you aren't sure about family law at this time. Better exit opportunities if you do civ lit AND fam work, not just one or the other.
