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???

Iste distinctio quaerat quae. Dolor nostrum voluptatum qui architecto rerum voluptatem. Quia cumque fugiat iste. Illo voluptatem itaque nemo consequatur mollitia rerum. Id aut debitis eum quia officia maiores.

Et eligendi earum quia incidunt beatae alias quia nobis. Quo ad minus qui ad odit maiores enim velit. Quia quo quis voluptates minima fuga blanditiis. Aut omnis placeat vero eveniet.

Eum voluptas eos recusandae perspiciatis quos libero. Sed a molestiae sapiente occaecati quasi dolor reiciendis. Ipsam sunt veniam nihil nulla. Eum sit totam voluptas.

Hic quaerat est qui libero mollitia ipsum. Praesentium eos tempora ducimus iure natus. Exercitationem odio accusantium aut quae sequi neque temporibus. Animi reiciendis esse nisi consectetur enim.
