"GorillaMoney" Accepted a MF credit (think Ares, Bain, GSO) offer, signed an at-will contract a few months ago. Recently, was offered a classic IB position from GS.

Would like to also hear monkeys who have seen consequences of reneging on a MF offer. What's the pros and cons of reneging? Given that the long term goal is to end up at buy-side and skewing toward work life balance (3-5 years down the road.) Most importantly, what's your view of my experience (2 MF credit investing roles, worked on 2-3 transactions) vs. a kid from BB/EB banking SA for FT banking/MF equity gig? Does Banking offer significantly more options for (PE, HF, or working at F500?)

To add-on, the concern mainly revolves around difficulties of lateraling from top BB to desirable MF from a non-target. Thought that it'd be easier to lateral between MFs than BB to MF (competing against candidates from targets.) Appreciate everyone's inputs.
