Another SA after receiving a FT offer

Hi there, I was wondering how'd you navigate in this situation? 

Let's say that upon your undergraduate you successfully completed SA at a bank like BofA and consequently received a FT offer, starting June next year. Then you commenced master's degree and managed to land SA at Goldman.

Would you be willing to resign from BofA for GS? On the one hand, you give up on your safe FT role. On the other hand, its Goldman and you can gun for the best of all.
