Risk Quant @ Man Group

Currently interviewing for a quant position in the investment risk team at Man Group. Team members I’ve met so far all seem nice and smart. Pay is pretty good.

I’m slightly concerned that it’s a position that’s not directly tied to alpha. I would prefer to be going towards the quantitative research side and have seen a few past employees at the investment risk team have gone on to quant research positions within Man Group.

Would this role be a good move for me (if I get it)? For context I’m currently working as a quant in the eTrading division of a large bank.
