Career Advice: Starting Career In Family Office

Hello. I just graduated from college, and currently have an offer working as an Investment Analyst at a single family office (think one of the richest families in Asia). Should I accept the offer or should I shop around? What will my career prospects be like if I take on this offer? Thank you! Greatly appreciate any feedback!

The only information you provided was that they are one of the richest families in Asia...which isn't very helpful. How many deals do they do a year? Industry focus? Avg transaction size? Size of investing team? International exposure? How much will you travel? Company culture? Opportunity to move up / 2 year and out program? Answer at least some of these questions and it will point you in the right direction towards an accept or decline decision.
