Should I take the offer if it's not going to get me any closer to my ultimate goal?

I'm currently unemployed with some decent experience in my field (non IB). However, I left my previous job and have been looking for something in the meantime. I have an offer from a small shop in the investor relations department which pays really well for my area. However, I don't see myself being in IR long-term (want to go M7 and early/growth stage investing) and wondering whether it's going to set me back more than anything since it's all sales and no analysis. I'm doing a couple of things on the side that I can easily use to explain the gap in my resume.

Considering the current job market, should I take the role that pays well but won't get me the experience that I need to get where I want? Or should I keep recruiting (and work odd jobs to pay the bills) until I find something that I'm really excited about?
