Exit ops from Valuation/Pricing quant role
I just got an offer for a valuation/pricing role at a BB which employs quants (relevant detail here I think to highlight coding+math ability). It sounds like MO, but sort of the best MO you can get because you're really close to the securities (think stuff like munis, CLO, CMO, RMBS, CMBS, ABS, etc.) and can really learn some good stuff about these markets.
The job search this year has been particularly brutal, especially since I have a really strong educational background (think top 5 UG with STEM double and a 3.9+). So I think I have to go for this role, particularly because I really don't have many other leads, and all the optimism about this year being a rebound year seems to have faded in light of recent fed statements and inflation figures etc etc. My question is - is this role gonna kill any future hopes I may have? I don't have crazy goals, my goal would just be for me to be able to pursue a path that allows me to be a PM someday within fixed income. I know the most surefire way to get there is to be a trader within a BB and so are BBs generally gonna be receptive to a MO quant guy like me trying to get on their desks? I'm talking about either lateralling internally or externally. How about if I try and go directly to the buyside as a quant? I know there's like a million different quant functions but macro analysts on the buyside generally have exactly the skillset I have, the only difference being that they have a bit of experience under their belt. Just a little concerned about pigeonholing with words like "pricing", "evaluation" "valuation" attached to my resume.
