Attention MCs

I currently have an offer to be a management consultant with a mid sized consulting firm specializing in software for oil and gas companies. I hope to get into a larger firm (think MBB) in the future, but am worried that this job won't give me enough experience. They are offering me a huge starting salary. Do you think I should take it?
