Accept Solid F100 Offer or Keep Looking?

I am a senior at a well regarded, but non-target, state school majoring in finance. I recently received an offer for a financial business analyst position at a F100 tech/manufacturing company. Offer is pretty good, about $79-$83k first year all in (including signing bonus, etc). The problem is that I only have three days left to accept or decline the offer, but I am not sure if starting my career in CF is a bad idea because I am interested in eventually ending up in MM buyside roles.

MBA is always an option, but I hear buyside recruiting with no prior IBD or buyside experience is a struggle. I would not feel good about reneging on the offer, so if I accept the offer, I will most likely follow through. Should I accept the offer or turn it down and keep looking?
