Asset Management Sales - SA and Exit Options

I have an offer for sales and marketing (not placed in a specific department as of yet retail/workplace/institutional) for a large AM in London, but I'm not very well versed on the AM industry in general and how a role in the distribution/client relationship side ranks alongside AM investments and also S&T or ECM in an IB in terms of future exit options, but more importantly salary and salary progression.

Can, and more importantly if pay is my priority, should the role be leveraged to move into a more lucrative buy-side role if that exists?

Also can anyone provide insights into what in a role like this? Hours, stress, salary, etc.

Thanks for any help
