Research at Financial Data Vendor --> Equity Research

Just landed a research role offer at a financial information provider (an UK firm), mainly covering HF/MF/OTC. So will this position be helpful in making the shift to sell-side few years down the road, and after acquiring the MBA? Thank you.

p.s. I just graduated from undergrad. in Nov 2012 and currently on the track pursuing the CFA as well (June 2013 L2).
