Would you work at a shit tier/brand shop for a good offer?

Received a decent offer from what I and many of my peers would consider a shit tier shop. Shit tier meaning their reputation on the street (near non existent) and generally the average person in the industry's kneejerk reaction when they hear of said shop name.

Comparison for the IB bros would be like if you received an offer for "Investment Banking - Tech Group at Cash App" that was 40% higher than street

The pay is a decent amount more (~40-60%), which is very surprising - and the head hunter has said I can even negotiate for higher - but I feel like I wouldn't get any exit opportunities following this gig just because of the shop name alone (many would ask, "shop has a trading desk?")

Is there a % increase where you would be fine with it?
