Credit to Investment Banking

I am a credit analyst likely about to be promoted to a PM and I am near completion of a online MBA. If I apply to a IB this year or next year as a PM should I apply to be an Analyst or Associate? 

-my MBA should be completed next year

-current comp is 85 should be a good bit more after promotion but I'm sure a investment bank will have no problem beating it substantially

Bump - I’m starting a Credit Analyst position in January in the south. Would love to hear more about IB exit ops / exit ops in general.
