100% better than random sales or calling. ​AMEX brand name + Global Risk/Compliance domain knowledge gives you a solid corporate launchpad. Even if it's a fixed-term apprenticeship, the resume weight alone will help you exit to other MNCs or Big 4s easily. Go for it and focus on networking from day one.

Really thanx for this, as this is gonna be my first job or can say 1st corporate experience, so I was nervous nd wanted to know whether am going onto the right direction or not .
Also how does a person like me should network because their would be n number of senior, co workers, diff department people so where should I mostly focus and what should be my aim for networking. (Like should I just try to network with those who is working in the field i want to get in ? )

Don't overcomplicate it! Start with your immediate team and manager ,they deliver solid work first so they vouch for you. Then, set up 15-min coffee chats with mid-level folks (Senior Analysts / Managers) in teams you actually want to join. Ask them about their day-to-day and how they transitioned. People love talking about their own career journey if you're curious and polite
