How much does location matter in terms of future prospects for a SA position?

I recently got an offer for a commercial banking SA position at JP Morgan. How much does location matter? My offer was in a smaller market (Denver, DC, Dallas, etc) and I’m wondering how this will effect me after I graduate getting a job or moving to a bigger market etc. should I care about the location beyond my own personal preference?
