Golden Gate Capital "Strategy Associate"

Was recently approached by a HH for a Golden Gate Capital Strategy Associate role. On the buyside, I've been interviewing with VCs and GE's. Any thoughts on what these roles entail? More interested in investing, but is this a foot in the door, or a foot in the wrong direction?
