trade finance - would you take it?

I’m a recent graduate and I’ve recently been contacted for a sales role in trade finance in GTS. It’s mostly a product specialist role, and the offer would include a 3-6 months product training in the HQ. If I’m interested in pursuing a sales or trading role in FICC (especially trading) somewhere down the road, would this be a possible exit op? If not, what exit ops are there for trade finance? And would the comp be like? Thanks for all your help.
