TMT Banking vs Tech Product Management vs Corp. Fin at Tech companies

I have found this forum to be useful for quite a bit of information and would like to thank all the contributors for their insights. I would like to pick your brain on one of the issues I need to make up my mind on in 2 weeks.

I am a first year MBA student at one of the top 10 business schools in US and am 31 years old. I have to decide between TMT banking and Tech product management, possibly Corp. Fin roles at Tech companies too. I have looked at all pros and cons of banking (lifestyle vs money and learning). I believe product management might lead to a good lifestyle, great learning, less money but maybe better exit options.

Whats the take of people on this forum? If you were to do it all over again would you go for Tech product management instead of TMT banking? Thanks!
