Will recruiting FT as an SA hurt me?

Currently in week two doing corporate coverage and I’m not sure it’s for me. I’d much rather be working in a product group vs relationship management.

Pro’s/cons to looking elsewhere this early in the program? My bank is globally well known but doesn’t win a lot of US M&A deals. I would accept an FT offer if nothing else bore fruit but just looking for thoughts.
