Define ops here... Ops for the fund or operational improvement of portfolio companies.

If it's the latter, both options are good careers, and which one you pick depends on your interest / temperament.

 
"collahola"Second position is operations/post investment management

You may be using "operations" here in a way that makes sense vis a vis operations of portfolio companies (eg acting as an active shareholder/pseudo CEO of portfolio companies), but runs contrary to how many people think of ops in a finance centre (eg processing, switching the light off at the end of the night).

Can you clarify what sense you are referring to "operations" in?

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
