How bad is reneging when the switch sounds obvious

I am currently signed at a mid-teir bank (think Wells Fargo, RBC, Rothschild) and recently received an offer for a top 3 BB (GS, JPM, MS). I feel like it would be stupid to not reneg and take the better offer, but how much will reneging the mid-teir bank screw me over. I don't plan to stay in banking after the 2-3 analyst years. Not sure what the switch would be, but don't think I would last in a banking lifestyle.
