Reneging On-Cycle Offer

What is the general consensus of reneging an on-cycle offer if the fund upgrade is quite significant (e.g., established MM fund ($1-3bn) -> top MF in different city (~$20bn+)? Would the headhunter relationship be burned forever or only for future Associate roles (i.e., come VP lateral recruiting they would work with the candidate again)?
