Breaking into fixed income research in Asset Management firm or bank

Im looking for an opinion on whether or not consulting would help me break into the fixed income research world. I have recently graduated from MBA but am having difficulty finding fixed income research opportunities. I have a consulting opportunity but I really want to do fixed income research. I am thinking about taking the consulting role with the hope that having industry experience as a consultant will help me break into Research covering the same industry I did as a consultant.

Does this sound logical to anyone? It seems like a lot of research folks have a background in the specific industry they cover.
