Leaving a bank immediately for a better offer? Need advice

Hi all--

I recently graduated from a non-target and have just resigned from my first job which was pretty much a placeholder at a PWM shop for 6 months. Through networking and passing CFA Level I senior year I got an offer from a local boutique bank which I have obviously accepted and am scheduled to start soon.

Here is my dilemma: I just got called in for an interview for a similar spot at an undoubtedly better bank which I am confident I can get from a connection in management. I am definitely more interested in this group but the call came after I accepted the offer at the boutique to get out of PWM (can you blame me).

My question is...Should I revoke my acceptance of the offer before I start at the boutique bank if I am confident (but not sure) I could get the offer or wait till I have definitely been extended an offer from the better bank and quit then? Neither banks are brand names but as I said earlier the firm I am interviewing for is definitely more respected and I would be more interested in working for them.

Any help is appreciated.
