Lateraling in IB (Coverage vs Product Groups)

How’s it going folks, to give context i currently work within one of the better coverage groups at my firm as an Analyst1

I’m curious to hear whether you believe there are more fulfilling opportunities to be discovered working within a dominant coverage group or more niche driven groups that can be found within products.

Cheers
