I signed an offer during on-cycle (current second year analyst) that I am having second thoughts about, largely due to geography.
Does anybody have experience with re-recruiting for a different role after having already signed?
I fully understand that this is generally frowned on (and that I might get MS for posting this), but I would appreciate any insight. Obviously would go through a different headhunter, etc.

High likelihood original firm finds out and you lose that offer as well.
If firm is well known don’t do it. HHs talk
Out of curiosity - why would the new headhunter care? Is this not just an opportunity for them to steal a client?
Meh, bad form and hurts the HH reputation particularly if new firm learns about the old offer. Also not in the interest of the new HH to present candidates who are already signed up given the thorniness
