Trading Assistant Global desk in Bulgaria- Is this a good opportunity?

I got an interview to work as a Trading Assistant in the Global Desk . I am wondering what exit opportunities can I have after few years of experience in this and if the fact of working in Bulgaria can make it difficult to find a job in Western Europe after 4-5 years. I also wonder, is this job a mix of soft and technical skills?. I would love to work in financial markets analysis or equity research but this job is more client focus, not sure if this experience can be useful for investmenet banking. I check linkedln and some people work as fund managers after this experience, others moved to commodities trading, both look like good paths to me.

This is the job description: 


To best assist our customers, we offer you the following opportunities:

  • Relevant training and onboarding into transfers, tax, corporate actions, trading venues, market abuse, amongst others;
  • Paid education package and the opportunity to go for the CFA certification;
  • Access to the Percipio platform with unlimited training you can do at your pace and time.

Your assistance to customers will be amongst the following topics:

  • As a trading assistant you will translate the client’s requests to the various departments that are responsible for the daily operations;
  • You will assist our customers during the entire customer lifecycle, starting from the moment they become prospects until the moment they are fully using their accounts (onboarding, KYC and EDD);
