Is it worth re-recruiting for FT?

I was a SA at a boutique IB firm in NYC for my junior year summer. Although I enjoyed the experience, the firm focuses specifically on one sector that I did not seem to find interesting. I am not sure what my long term career goal is but definitely want to leave exit opportunities open if I don’t want to stay in IB.

I received a return offer but was wondering whether it is worth trying to recruit for an EB/BB for full time. The boutique firm pays very well but doesn’t have the same brand recognition as other places. I’m worried that if I don’t take the return offer I might be left with something worse or nothing IB related for full time.
