reached out to MM HF as A1 IB analyst

I am currently an A1 in an BB/EB level investment bank in London, and has recently been reached out by a headhunter for a position in a big 4 MM HF.

is it a good opportunity? General concern is short career tenure in downside. Any tips on preparing interview? And also how is the base and comp look like.

Thanks!
