advice on backing out on accepted SA offer

Hi fellow Chimps, 

Basically last spring I got really into the IB recruiting process thinking it was for me and ended up accepting an offer at a middle market bank for 2022. 

After talking with many friends who worked as SA's in 2021 and hating my job as an analyst at a PE firm last summer as well as having other options for this summer I really have absolutely zero interest in working IB.  

Was wondering what advice you chimps have as far as the best way to navigate this situation as I really don't want to damage the relationship with the bank if possible.

Why do you care about the relationship if you have no interest what so ever in IB anymore?
