Recruiting MBB despite signed IB Offer

For context, I go to a strong target for IB and MBB and struck out on top tier IB SA 2026 offers, but was able to land a lower tier MM offer and signed. I want to pursue MBB options now and was wondering how big of an issue/how risky it would be considering I signed an IB offer already (I've kept it on the down low). Can I play off going to info sessions as just networking early for FT opportunites if caught? Will I get rescinded from my bank for networking with MBB people? Should I just recruit MBB for full time? Thoughts/advice much appreciated?
