Accepted S&T return offer - okay to continue interviewing?

Accepted a return offer to a BB for a S&T analyst position as a grad; long-term goal is to be at a place that allows me to take view on markets outside of marketing making. I received an interview for one of the big Multi-Manager HFs for a grad role. I genuinely enjoy my current desk and the people on the desk so I'm slightly conflicted. HF role is research analyst not trading btw. What are the downside to continuing to interview. This HF could easily be a counterparty to the desk and I don't want to somehow get my offer pulled. 

Basically happy with accepted offer but HF role would be a step up slightly. ^

I mean, it’s obviously not okay. Should you interview? I don’t know that’s up to you. People say don’t renege because the finance world is small. Others say renege because there is a small chance of them finding out/care. Find out what you exactly want and if it’s worth to renege.
