Renege after FT Job offer?

Hey guys,

I've accepted a job offer three weeks ago, and I already turned down several other offers as well (the company I accepted knew that and they appreciated my decision). The company is a small RE investment firm - very specific asset type.

I also turned down another super day interview invitiation from a big REPE a few days ago.

 My goal is to go to IB REGAL, Blackstone AM, etc., so I really want to start my career in a big 'named' company.

I just saw one of job openings from the big REPE companies and I really want to apply for this position. Can I apply? TBH, I see a high possibility of getting a first-round interview call because they post it on my school career site, so the chance might be a bit higher?

The industry is small, especially the company I will work for as a FT, so I am not sure if it is okay to apply for another job. What if (with 1% possibility) I get an offer?
