Where should I see myself in 5 years, starting as a junior credit risk analyst today?

I’ve landed my first job after uni as a credit analyst in credit risk management at a top tier bank… I look at regulated funds… the job is good and enjoyable even after 6 months… but I’m not sure whether I should stay here… It seems like buy-side is my calling… I’m still trying to understand the future prospects of my role I’m in a tier 1 city of India… would get a chance to move to NYC in my current role
