HF quant to a private banking trader - worth the move?

Hello, keeping my profile simple, I am currently a quant in hedge fund (financial maths, derivatives, systematic trading, coding...). Though I find that I don't enjoy working in a capacity coding all the time and I actually more keen on sales and trading. I enjoy the human interaction, the discussion of market themes, and ultimately do want to be in capacity where i would 'manage my own book'. Though this seems less possible with time as people at my age (or salary) compete in the job market either with 'track record' or 'client list'.

Recently I have a headhunt whom worked out a role for me at a pb as an execution trader where. I presume the main 'clients' would be the internal RMs. I sort of feel that adds strings to my bow. The only issue is that it will be slashing my pay in half and behind the sugar coating it could be a rather boring job and if I do switch again I will have a weaker quant background, a set of perhaps not so useful trading skills and half the pay (!). On the other hand it might get me closer to trading, and it does allow me to monitor the market closely, having on the CV that I did, in fact, traded products in the market.

Just want to gather what people thoughts are...
