LO/LS vs ECM (who makes more)

Currently a ER junior building up my own coverage (I live in a small country where its normal that juniors don't work for analysts before they start their own coverage). 

During my grad scheme I did both ECM and ER and hence know what both roles entail. It took me almost 2 years to figure out what I want in the long-term ECM or Buyside ER. 

Hence, who makes more ER or Buyside ER?
