BB Middle office / risk roll --> junior trader at hedge fund question

I currently work for a top 4 BB middle office group doing PnL and greek risk reporting. My main goal is to get a pure market risk / trader role. I have a chance to move to a small boutique hedge fund as a junior trader (750mil)... My question is would this be a good move overall or is the hedge fund to small. As an added note, I don't mind taking the risk since I'm young and don't have any debt.
