Time Sensitive - Consulting to ER

I have an exploding offer for a Healthcare Consulting company right out of undergrad. My long term career goal is to work in Buyside ER position. Has anyone been able to make a transition from an industry specific consulting role to ER before?

I am worried that I would be pigeonholing myself to a career in healthcare/consulting if I accept this offer. Would that be the case if I worked at the company for only a year?

Thanks for responding. I want to explore both sides of this. I am particularly worried about transferable skills. I know that the role and responsibilities would not directly transfer to AM/ER. Even with the CFA, wouldn’t it be better to wait for an opportunity that has relevant experience?
