Would you rather be in a TMT group or M&A group? Why?

Regardless of the firm / deal flow. I know firms do make a difference though. Objectively- Do you think M&A gets repetitive and that being in a coverage group is better to learn about all the different products? Or do you think learning about different industries is better?

Thanks.

really stupid question, firms like Barclays, Goldman, most EBs don't even have an M&A group
