High Yield Desk Analyst Offer

I'm currently a credit analyst in the IG corporates group at a large NY-based insurance company (Met, Pru, Tiaa-Cref) and was recently offered a HY desk analyst position with a bb firm. Ultimately, I would like to end up at a long/short credit fund. How marketable is the credit desk analyst skill set? How is it viewed versus those of lev fin analysts and restructuring analysts?

I'm also considering an MBA. I figure I would have a decent chance of securing a position with a long/short credit fund directly after graduation or after 2-3 years as a lev fin or restructuring associate. Given my work experience, recommendations and GMAT (700+), I think I have a decent shot of getting into a top 15 program.

Any opinions on whether I would be better off turning down the offer and getting an MBA first?
