When to Make the Jump?

An analyst for 1.5 years at MBB, but being reach out by some pretty nice corp dev/strategy roles. Would it make sense for me to get promoted first and then jump to corp dev or should I just leave now to get more experience in corporate before ultimately jumping to a top MBA? I'm pretty indifferent to both as I enjoy my job but would ultimately want to join corporate.

Thanks. I've been reached out by several companies and i'll be getting a promotion to a sr analyst role if I make the jump now. I believe I'll essentially get the same role even if I make the jump after just getting promoted to associate.
