PWM or IR

Currently an analyst in PWM / PB at GS/Citi/JPM. I have an opportunity to interview for an IR role at a MF. I enjoy the alts space and the comp would be higher at the analyst level. Is there much progression in IR? I’m concerned my comp will be more capped than in PWM once I can finally build my book.

In terms of interest, it’s all the same to me, although I am more passionate about investing. Chasing prestige/exits and more comp to be perfectly honest. Thanks guys.
