Should I try to get into IB?

Hey, I was just wondering if you could shed some light on this topic. So I'm currently going to the buy side and was wondering if there's any point to go from buy side to sell side if my end goal is buy side. E.g. Buyside entry analyst -> MBA -> associate ib -> buyside more senior position
