IB/IM Dilemma

Hey guys,

Never posted anything here but I’ve been following the site for a little over three years now, first two years were mostly lurking. I’m in a bit of a dilemma and want to seek all monkeys out for some career advice. So, I’m a recent graduate, went through the recruiting process late fall last year and early spring this year (mixed of IB and IM.) Landed a couple of offers (all IM, no IB) and decided to go with a $10-20B fund (think private foundation /trust /fund of fund/ endowment/ etc.), on the private investments side.

I received an email today from the HR contact of a bank (top 10 by assets) asking if I am in the market or still interested in the position I interviewed with them back in Dec/Jan. It was down between another applicant and me at the time. They've recently decided to add another member to the team so HR reached out to me.

I would feel really shi**y about jumping ship so shortly after I started, at the same time honestly want to take the position - it was my first choice back then. Really don’t know if I should and how to present the situation to my boss if that's the case…

I understand I’m being completed vague about everything but I can’t really disclose anything further without exposing myself. Colleagues are active members of this site too. Any advice would be genuinely appreciated.
