FX Quant Risk Analyst to Buy side analyst

Just seeing if it seems logical that going from a quantitative risk analyst at an FX shop to a buy side analyst/Portfolio manager down the road is an easier move. My thought is that understanding the macro environment and the wild swings in capital flows would make a US PM, analyst, or whatever better at managing international investments.

The reason I ask is because I have an opportunity to take a job as a quant risk analyst at a fx shop and I am not sure what to do. I am level 2 CFA candidate and I plan on continuing down that path. To me it seems that many US investments and euro related investments in general will struggle throughout the next decade and I want to be prepared to take on the more globalized emerging markets as they become more normalized.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts. I just wanted to see what people thought about my thought process.

Best,
