Can you go back?

I left a small, go nowhere career-wise, but UBER stable firm, to pursue a career in a large engineering firm out of DC with VAST promotion potential, but high turnover rate.

Long story short I did really well and was quickly promoted and received numerous raises.....BUT..I wouldn't move to DC and the market went to shit so they closed the NC office.

I ended up making a huge jump in pay...HUGE...but was still in good standing with the small, go nowhere, firm. I negotiated a midpoint of salary and didn't lose much, but gained leaps and bounds over if I'd stayed. But I'm back at the stable small firm.
