Reneging in Reverse

So here's an original topic.

Anyway, I know most reneging topics are usually based on the premise, "I wanna say 'Fuck Off' to Big 4/F500 Rotation/MM for a BB opportunity," or something along those lines.

Well, I'm trying to get out.

I have a BB offer. I've accepted/signed. I recruited this year, and managed to secure a job at a top Proprietary Trading firm. I think the work would be more my speed (Read: Not mind-numbingly tedious), but I'm wondering... Just how small a world is finance?

I know reneging from one to BB to another is probably misguided, but should I be okay in this circumstance?

I figure there must be at least one other poor soul my bank could call up to fill my shoes. It's just -- If I stayed in banking, I think there's a high likelihood I'd lose 15 IQ points.
