Renege regional boutique for EB? URGENT

Title says it all. I accepted an offer at XYZ regional boutique bank in my hometown. Now an EB/BB has made an offer in NYC.

Salary at boutique is 130k all-in. EB/BB is north of 180k.

How do I not burn bridges in my hometown and renege properly? I really value the opinions of the people at the boutique as they are big in my network, but this is actually a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Please help me monkeys.

If you want to do PE, take the NYC offer and don’t look back. That being said, getting paid about the same (adjusted for purchasing power) for working 20 less hours a week is not a bad deal at all 

 

Assuming you also lateralled from another boutique, currently at a 2 man M&A shop
