Professionally acceptable to take on a stopgap job while you search for another job?

I was thinking of taking on something like consumer credit analyst while I search for commercial credit analyst.

1) Be consumer credit Analyst 2)Get job as commercial credit analyst 3) Transfer to credit analyst for commercial bank and own it 4) Get client facing role 5) become MD or go into leveraged finance or IB 6)Enjoy Life 7)Profit 8) Start a finance mentoring program 9) ???
