Reneging for different location?

I signed with a BB for NYC for Full Time 2020 but am having major second thoughts. I really want to be in LA instead given valid reasons (would be recruiting for similar tier BB in LA). Despite this, I’m having ethical concerns jeopardizing my school’s pipeline with the firm.... but I know life would suck in NYC. What do you guys think? Is it worth it?
