Opinion on credit research at CRA

Current senior slated to start as an rating analyst at big 3 CRA and was wondering if it is a good place to start, hoping to lateral in IB. I would be working in the project finance and infrastructure group which is loosely related to Asset-Backed securitization. Is this a real hope or if I take this should I forget about banking?
