Career path in Appraisal Firm

Hello,

i would like to ask several things regarding the career path in Appraisal Firm. i have been shortlisted for an intern position in Am*ric*n Appraisal. However, my personal aim is to break into the research industry in equity or fixed income and eventually seeking to advance to become a money manager. Do you think the skills and experience in Appraisal firm will be somewhat related to the skills needed in buyside firm? Alternatively i have a chance to be referred to become a junior analyst in a buyside firm in an emerging market. What do you think is the best option for me to choose? Intern first and see it for myself or should i just go directly to research role? i assume that having this internship opportunity will help me to get other jobs.

Thanks in Advance
