Nat Gas Analyst Pigeonhole?

Am deciding between quant research vs. an analyst role at a "quantamental" (but essentially fundamental/discretionary) nat gas/power shop. I'm mostly concerned about pigeonholing myself since this would be my first role out of college. How hard is it to switch to another commodity/asset class after a few years of nat gas analyst work, for example if I wanted to go back to the quant/systematic side? How hard is it to get into a top MBA program? To be honest, had never really considered nat gas trading before getting offered this role, and am unsure if I would be good at risk-taking or want to stay in it for the long haul. Thanks!

 

Thanks for the reply - yes, I'm aware of their team. Have you heard good things about what they're doing? Nothing wrong with natural gas for sure, am just trying to understand what the optionality is if I ever want to switch out if I realize I'm a shit trader lol, have talked to some guys who have spent a while in industry and even done very well and they mentioned that they felt constrained.
