Help Choosing Career Path - Not sure what to take!

Hi lovely people!

I work for one of the big brokerages  (CBRE and the like etc.) and have found  myself in a position  where I can either focus on  what they call Corporate Finance   (corp. transactions etc. etc.) or join a Loan Advisory/Restructuring team (helping banks etc. with  bad debt/npls etc. services - pretty random  I know)

I am having a very hard time making  a decision on which way to go  - I am  an ex-banker and am lost enough as it is.

Any advice, suggestions or  ideas where any of these paths could go/lead to.
