Debt Advisory - is it a good stepping stone? What are the exit opportunities?

I am an analyst at a top BB with over 2 years experience in the credit team. I was offered a job with good pay rise at a mid cap debt advisory boutique, but my goal is to move to buy side eventually. I am in no hurry and open to getting all the experience/baggage I can at this stage of my career but don’t know if this move is smart.

Any thoughts/opinions much appreciated. I’d also be interested to know how financial/debt advisory is viewed in general.
