You mean FAAS/CMAAS/AAS/ARA?
Being in the group, no it is not good for pivoting to IB, Corp dev type of stuff. We deal with technical accounting and SEC reporting so the part of a transaction we look at is basically how will this hit their 10K filing and what disclosures do we need.
If you want to be a controller or technical accountant/CAO then it’s a great path but we do pretty much 0 financial analysis.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
