Credit Portfolio Management

Hi,

I have been working in sell side credit research in an investment bank and am looking to move into Asset Management (fixed income).

I recently had a job offer from another bank's credit portfolio management team as a buy side analyst. This is not a real asset management position as the team does not work to provide returns from buying or selling bonds but rather balancing the bank's exposure to corporate names (mainly loans exposure) by Buy/Selling CDS to balance risk.

I wonder if even not an asset management job, it would help me get closer to a fixed income analyst/PM position, or is it not a path I should consider?
