Burn Bridge for Micro-Boutique?? HELP

Hi everyone,

I need some serious advice.

I just got an offer to work at a micro boutique firm yesterday. I recently, however, just moved to NY to do valuations at a MM firm because I couldn't find a banking job. I looked for a whole year and just gave up after a lot of hard work, and this opportunity presented itself through networking. I am not sure what to do, since I haven't even been in this job for 5 months yet, I would have to move back to my hometown, and NY has much bigger and better banks. The micro boutique has pretty good deal flow but the sizes are pretty small (20MM - 70MM) is the sweet spot. Also, if I was to give this offer up, who knows if I would have the opportunity again. After all, I have been looking for a whole year. What would you guys do???
