Financial Sponsors Group vs RECM

Which placement is better? Financial Sponsors Group (not within LevFin) or a RECM Rotation (CMBS Origination/Large Loans Group/Warehouse Lending) - at a BB.

How many hours a week can I expect from each group?

What types of projects do each primarily work on?

What types of cultures are generally embedded within each?

(I don't really care for modeling exposure, I'm looking more for long-term sustainability)
