Model risk positions

I'm about to complete a PhD in financial mathematics and I see that places like GS and JPMorgan are actively hiring in the area Model Risk management. Are these positions interesting and are they a good way to enter the industry? From what I hear the pay is comparable to quant research positions (~120k base for associate)
