Risk Management or Client Services Associate???

Interviewing at two funds right now, one is Bridgewater for a Client Services Associate position, the other fund York Capital is for a Risk Management role. Which would be the better move for trying to land into the investment strategy/trading side of the PM industry?

Any thoughts/opinions are greatly appreciated.

 

Out of those options your best choice is clearly risk due to the fact it at least includes some analysis

He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
 

Risk if you're looking to get into the investment/strategy aspect of the fund.

Client Services at best could possibly lead to business development which helps market hedge funds to potential investors.

The latter is great if you're a 'people' person or a really hot chick. And quite honestly, business development roles @ HFs should be on the rise with new regulation & the Obama Jobs act.
