should I move from corporate to project finance?

Hello!! Here I am once again to ask you for a piece of advice.

I have been working in corporate finance over the last 3 years. Life for me at work was very happy: financials, multiples, etc. I adore modelling. Now I have become a senior analyst, and I am not supposed to work with numbers anymore! “That is left for the juniors” I was said, “now you have to generate ideas, prepare presentations and assist to meetings”. I don’t like it, no numbers, no new things to learn, just talking to people about my ideas.

So I have considered to move to project finance, which I consider more finance related. Two things worry me: 1) is project finance as “prestigious” as project finance? (in the sense that I will be able to jump to any other business in the future such as PE, strategic departments of an industrial companies, eventually being addmited in a prestigious university for master, etc.) 2) is project finance much worse paid than corporate? I have heard their bonus is at 30% (instead of my current 80%)

Thanks a lot
