Central Quant Outlook MMHF

Working at one of the big mmhf (c/p/m) as a pricing quant on a central (non-trading) team. My prior role was working in a pod supporting a discretionary pm (blew up after a few years). Few months into the central role I am really surprised at how siloed from the business the group is. Anyone have any color on where these roles can lead and whether they can be dead ends? From what I have seen there isn’t much movement from the central team to more business facing quant functions.
