Need a little (a lot) guidance on how to position myself when moving to a role in RE

Been working in LMM IB for 2 years and ready to move on. Not a huge fan of the hours or the asset class i work in. I’m interested in MF more than commercial, but I’m kind of lost on what role is best for me. I’ve watched a lot of YT vids on each role but I trust strangers on the internet more. Anyone have insights on what WLB/comp is like between acquisitions, PM, AM, and development? Sorry for the generic post, I’m just trying to get started in RE.
