Stay in RE or move to Public Credit?

I am currently at a large institutional asset management firm working in the real estate portfolio management group. I generally work with a few portfolio managers to manage the existing assets (~1 bn portfolio) and also help with the asset management side of things (.eg. - property budgeting, leasing etc.).

I have been in this role for less than a year now but an opportunity opened up to join the fixed-income investing group in one of their investing teams (IG/Distressed). It's more of a front-office research analyst position. My goal is to be a good investor and it's very hard to move to the real estate acquisitions team internally. I also have realized I don't enjoy real estate as an asset class because of the long investment time horizon, leasing, and the property management aspect of investments. In my current role, I spend most of my time doing random mind-numbing portfolio work (preparing asset plans, reviewing reports that property managers produce etc.). I would like to focus more on the macro picture than the granular, operational aspects of real estate. It's also a very top-heavy group so there's very little upside mobility. 

I would ideally like to work in the Fixed Income group for a few years and then maybe move to an HF credit group. I don't plan to work my whole life so am trying to maximise my earnings for maybe 10-15 years and then call it a quit. For context, I am very entrepreneurial-minded (always seeking to improve processes), a very hard worker, and have fortunately received great feedback so far from everyone I worked with. I wanted to ask if anyone has any opinions on this. Don't have a lot of people to talk about this in real life so I was just hoping to gain more perspective if this would be a better move. Would this be a bad idea? 

Thank you!
