Offer a little bit too late... what to do

I just got an email back from this regional boutique about an opening on their team, but months after I contacted the MD.

The thing is though, I recently accepted a MM consulting role and start next week.

As someone who still wants to get into IB at some point, how do I reply and keep the connection so 1 yr+ from now I can try to make the move?

 

I just gave the MD the news, but his response basically sounded like I am open to reach back out at anytime and he can squeeze me in.

The only reason as to why I am hesitant is that for this consulting role I am relocating to a Tier 2 city from basically a nowhere, which is where the LMM IB is located. I'm betting my chances this new role and being in a better location will leverage my chances at a future MM or low tier BB.
