Is this role FO or BO or maybe MO?

The job title is Leveraged Finance Credit Risk Analyst within the banks IB. I’m currently in commercial banking. Is this a good move? And will I be able to lateral to FO? The interviewer mentioned I’d be able to if I wanted

I’m an analyst in WF’s MMB. Commercial banking is incredibly boring to me. My plan is to takE this LevFin credit role, and either jump to FO or transition to private credit. What’s your opinion on that?

 

I have no interest in WF LevFin because upon speaking with an analyst from the group I learned they do no modeling at all. Which I was completely surprised by. I’ll maintain my current goal of transitioning to FO and then hopefully to private equity
