Applying to different practice areas (lateral)

I think I’ve seen this discussed before, but I can’t find the thread anymore.

I sent my resume for a position that had no opening through a friend. I spend half my time in this practice. I received an email within a day that there’s no opening.

The firm posted a different position for a practice area I spend the other 50% of my time.

I’m mostly applying to try to go back to my home market and would gladly take a position in the second role.

Will the firm not consider me for the role because I just asked about a different practice group?

Bump. Any intel would be appreciated. Anon because I don’t want people knowing I’m looking to lateral.
