Mortgage Industry - Secondary Marketing Analyst (need help and insight on career direction)

Hello everyone,

I've been working in the mortgage industry for almost 2 years now, and, recently had an opportunity to take on a position as a secondary marketing analyst at a private mortgage company. I'm working under the director of the secondary marketing department who sells, manages, and hedges the company's loan pipeline. He maintains relationships with investors (Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, etc.) who purchases the company's funded loans, and hedges in order to mitigate risk.

Can this position create a bridge or lead to any formidable positions in different areas of finance, down the road (hedge funds, M&A, corporate finance, banking etc.)? Is this position too niche? Am I just further pigeon-holing myself into this industry? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
