Help me in making a decision to move from IT to Front Office

I have an opportunity to move from the IT of an investment bank to an event-driven desk as a product analyst where I will continue building the technology product while also learning the business. I don't know if this career is for me, but also hard to make a decision because my long-term career goal has been to be at the intersection of finance and technology.
