Renege Big 5 for TO Globals?

Recently received & signed offer for a Big 5 in Toronto. Looking to gtfo Canada in the future, is it worth reneging my current offer and try to rerecruit for a global in Toronto (Jef/Barclays etc)? How does deal flow compare? And if I want to recruit for other regions, what matters more - prestige/brand name or deal experience? Any insight is helpful! Thanks!

don't renege in canada, bay street is small and people talk, better to just lateral to NY once you join your seat or renege if you get an offer outside of Canada before starting. You can soft recruit for FT26 roles rn in the US/UK rn but US processes are closing soon, idk about the uk
