Help me choose: DCM Orig. or FX Sales

Hi all, currently in coverage (ignore title). Have been wanting to move to the capital markets side because I hate banking, and finally landed two offers between DCM origination and FX sales. Kind of at a loss of what to do. FX sales was a long shot and surprised I got it given my non-technical background, but I find FX fascinating, and the opportunity to pitch FX options and derivs seems exciting.

Alternatively, I have DCM, which I believed to be a good balance between banking and markets, and more of an “easier” transition. I’m not obsessed with exits, and more into letting my career take me wherever, but would love to get any insight
