So as the title says, I couldn't land a FT offer and I recently got a interview for an origination role where the majority is cold calling/ emailing. Has anyone else here done something similar? Does this help in landing something decent in the future?

It's better than no job at all. At least you will be exposed to clients and potential clients.
Wait, you only landed an interview?
Land the offer first and then come back and ask this. Nothing is ever a sure thing.
^^ good point, I should have worded this differently. My main question is if anyone else here has done something similar and if it transitioned into anything else?
Can you be more specific on the role, industry, etc?
Sure, this is all I have so far. Seems to be MM looking to add a member to their PE deal flow team. Seems to be just cold calling and emailing to source new deal leads. They also offer a 50k base + bonus+ commission on completed deals that are originated.
