Opportunity: CMBS New Deal Rating Agency to small Insurance Buy Side

I recently completed a first-rounder for an Analyst role for a insurance companies management arm that focuses  CRE Originations/ABS/CLO/Pref Equity. Fund size is about $2-$5 billion. The position would be to work directly under a team of portfolio managers. 

Sounds like a good buy side gig considering I havent hit a full year as a CMBS new deal analyst at a Big 3 RA. My question, despite the fund being so small, I would gain a ton of exposure and insight due to the tight-knit team. Would this help me make moves in the future to work for a larger CMBS buy side fund (KKR, PIMCO, AXA, Realto etc?) - or - is it better to go to a large bank in origination/underwriting/securitization first?


Thank you!
