Where to go from BB AM

Im a junior analyst in an AM arm of a BB. L Recently I’ve recruiters reaching out about mainly IR/strategy roles, which I wasn’t aware was a common exit from AM but a few people on my team have moved to similar roles at HF. It seems to be more sales-y than I’d like, but I also feel I’m at a disadvantage for more investment focused or quant heavy roles given relative lack of modeling/deal experience compared to folks in IB. Would it be a better move to go for an IR role at a HF for the brand name, and try to move internally, or stay put and work toward a PM role at a top AM? What are the other common/preferable options? Wasnt considering moving until recently so I’m mot too sure. Thanks
