Is getting a job in accounting for the management company of many funds a “dead end”? I know it’s a good job with good pay, but would I be “pigeon-holing” myself taking that job?

You are likely "pigeon-holing" yourself to fund accounting but I think that area still has a lot of opportunities. Asset Wealth Management is a major sector especially with alternative investments on the rise. If your fear is that the company is limiting, you're probably right and competition to the top will be fierce if that's your ambition. But as a general career move, I think you'll be fine.

yes
