Moving Teams - Step Back to Take Two Forward?

What are your thoughts on taking a position on another team at a lower title/band than your current position?

Basically I've been working iin various closing/underwriting position but have wanted to work in credit or asset management for a while. I have an opportunity to move to one of those teams internally to one of those teams, but based on the title/job grade it would be a "step down" (although I'm fairly certain my salary would stay the same), essentially going to an analyst title. That being said there is more upside in the future for compensation and it's the type of work I'd like to do anyway.

Anything you'd want to know beforehand? Anyone have a positive experience doing this?
