Opinion on a fulltime offer

Hi guys, I received a fulltime quant offer at a BB, however, the location is not in New York, in fact not even US, but in LatAm. How tough would it be to make the jump to New York after 2-3 years? What if they do not allow me to move, can I lateral into another bank's quant team in New York?

(I have US citizenship if that's relevant.)
Thanks!

Edit: the work is completely with the NY team, supporting a trading desk.

 

It is derivatives pricing, so front office quant (as close as it gets, not counting quant trading). I think the main reason of moving out of NY is to save them money, and tapping into the local quant talent.

I like the sound of it too, I'd love to work in another country for a few years, but the endgame is ofc settling down in New York.

Do you have other NYC offers you're comparing this to? It shouldn't be too difficult to come back if you have citizenship (especially if your bank has a strong internal mobility policy, as some do). If it's your only offer you have nothing to think about anyway. If it's not, well, Brazil would still be awesome for a few years.
