Money vs. Good Experience
2 months out of college.....
Degree in finance, non target, 3.9 GPA, decided to go with management position that paid good money while in school, instead of going with a finance related internship (probably a mistake). Just gave current employer 2 weeks notice as a good offer was given by a base metals brokerage. The situation...
The job offer sounds more along the lines of account management/sales rather than an analyst position that I was originally looking for. The offer pays well and the starting salary is well above all entry level analyst positions I was applying for. If I take the offer and keep going on with management and less financial services experience will it extinguish all chances of crossing over into the financial services industry later on down the road? I am also hesitant about passing on any good offers regardless of industry in this economy. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

You can reinvent yourself a million times if you want. Hell after college, Bruce Kovner worked as a tax driver and Phil Falcone played minor league hockey.
I have a very strong belief
I have a very strong belief that when you're young you should always take experience over more $$. More $$ now doesn't necessarily mean more $ later. However more experience now usually converts to more $ later.
I don't get this 'financial services' stuff you talk off. Brokerage sales is pretty much financial services. Analyst is more on the research side than financial services. Just my opinion.
I guess I was trying to say
I guess I was trying to say that analyst positions are more quantitative and technical which I feel gives you a better foundation for most of the areas of finance if you want to move into different sectors.
