I am 24 and currently working for a top strategy/risk management consulting firm in NYC. The people are cool to work with, the pay is good ($86K), and I cant beat the hours/quality of life, plus I am in a position to advance quickly. My dilema is I have a job offer at an IB firm in London that starts soon. I will basically be starting over and entering as an analyst, taking a pay cut and doing what analysts do. Is it worth leaving my current job to pursue what in my mind I believe is what I should be doing? Would I be better off waiting till after an MBA to go into IB? Any help is appreciated.

Although several investment banks have started to promote analysts to associates - it is still not common. If you want a career in IB you should go back and get your MBA first.
