Finance vs Ops

Just wanted your takes on this..

Since a finance analyst position is strictly BO, would you be better off doing operations at the same firm if you are guaranteed to be placed into a MO role??

Also, does MO allow any opportunities to enter the FO? or is it just as dead end as BO

Curious as to what you guys think.

Thanks
