Derivative Valuations job offer - not ideal, but should I take it?
I received an offer to join a firm that does independent valuations for various buy side groups, basically the equivalent of an operations analyst for an OTC Derivatives desk at a bank, but not at a bank. I know that operations in general gets a lot of shit on WSO, but I am very close to graduating and am getting kind of desperate to secure something after having already been rejected from multiple other (more desirable) positions.
Does independent derivative valuations sound like a reasonable place to build the skills necessary to try again for trading or other quantitative positions at a prop shop/BB/HF in a year or two? Should I also plan to go back to business school to increase my chances? Or does this job sound like a dead end and should I decline the offer even without a backup?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
