Renege IB for MBB?

Hi all

I currently have an IB offer that explodes before MBB recruiting first round / second round occurs. I spoke to HR and they will give me some more time but still not enough. Should I renege the offer if I get MBB? I know that I'd be much more interested in consulting. I see a few older posts about reneging offers and how that affects you given that the street is small. What is everyone's thoughts?
