ACS Switch to Something Better

Looking for any insights. I started in the Aladdin Client Services group of BlackRock. I took it because that seemed to be the best offer I had out of college at the time. Now it definitely seems a little back office. What are the chances I would be able to shift into a more prominent role in a different company (PE, IB, etc..) without going to get my MBA yet? I do have a CFA Level 1 (didn't know if that would really help or not).
