Reneging IB for MBB

I’m currently debating accepting a full time offer with a BB prior to doing MBB recruiting. Everyone I’ve talked to, including a former head in the office, has said I’d be a fool not to accept the BB offer. With that, they’ve all said I should continue to recruit and recruit consulting if that’s what I’m interested in, but turning down an offer without another fully lined up would be a bad idea.

Does anyone know if I’d have to tell consulting recruiters/interviewers that I’ve already accepted an offer at a BB? If so, would that hurt my chances?

The offer is the classic “employment at will,” so technically the BB could renege on me if that helps.
