BB Treasury Services to Money Market Trading

Looking for some brutally honest insight on a job decision

Would it be a mistake to jump from treasury services (on the sales team, am client-facing) at a BB to money markets trading (part of the funding desk) at a Chinese bank in NYC? Not sure if it is relevant but I'm 2 years out of a non-target university.

I'm particularly concerned about how Chinese banks are viewed from a reputation perspective for future exit opps, and if it would be likely for me to jump back into a BB or at least a US bank later on.

Other possibly relevant information is that I'm currently not allowed to move internally to our own S&T group until I graduate from the analyst program (so 1 more year in my role), but even then I would end up starting as a fresh analyst. But would that be better than going to the Chinese bank?

Any insight is appreciated!
