Valuation Control versus Market/Counterparty Risk Management

Hello fellows, I'd like to get anyone's suggestion of a choice between the valuation control manager role versus the market/counterparty risk management role, both at the same corporate title. I currently work at the valuation control team and there are opportunities to be the manager of this team or internal move to the Risk department for a market/counterparty risk role. Somehow in my company, I feel like people tend to move from middle office roles (namely product control, trade support) to the Risk department. However since the managerial part plays in, I'd like to get many suggestions as possible.

Does risk management have better exit opps than valuation control? What do you think of the managerial skill versus the risk management skillset in the future career path? Does the managerial skill play a big role when I make the next move? Thank you!
