Pricing and Valuation vs. Quant/Trader?

I just received a pretty decent offer at a major HF for a vlauation role. My concern is that I will be considered back office for the rest of my career if I accept this position. Is pricing and valuation considered back office? Will this be a bad career move and should I hold out for other offers. What's the likelihood of moving from this role to a trading role down the line? I appreaciate any help.

 

But this role is simply to double check the pricing of the traders, making sure there were no gross mispricings of assets. Sounds like more of a supportive role.
