MF Credit SA vs. BB IBD SA

Have an offer from one of the MF's for their Credit Fund as a SA, but not sure if I am passionate about credit investing yet. Although the top BB's haven't started recruiting except for diversity, I am confident I can land an offer at one of GS/MS/JPM.

Would Credit pigeonhole me into Credit or could I potentially do SA in Credit and lateral to PE internally for FT or be able to recruit for top IB FT again?

Not sure if I am willing to risk passing up on an MF SA for the risk of not getting anything, could I also leverage this offer to for accelerated interviews at the BB's or EVC M&A or PJT RSSG? 

Thanks in advance, this forum has helped me tremendously! 

 

"confident you can land GS/MS/JPM" is absolutely no sure thing. If you're willing to renege the MF offer then go ahead and accept it. Otherwise think long and hard about whether you'd be willing to give this up for a chance at BB which is no sure thing.

Ended up passing on MF Credit and got two offers from GS/JPM/MS, ended up taking a top group at GS.
