Techy Guy Asking: Stay or Leave CRE?

HI All - I work for one of the CRE software firms out there. I originally sought to break into an attractive CRE Finance gig but found my job opportunities limited relative to the high opportunity cost of leaving a technical job in software.

Recently I was recruited to work for another software firm that makes investment accounting, portfolio analysis, and derivative accounting software (mostly fixed income stuff).

As far as the technical aspects of the job goes, it's a no-brainer to take the new job because I would be doing similar stuff for more money. But the finance side of the job is a little bit of an unknown to me in terms of how these skills are valued in the marketplace.

So would it be better to pursue fixed income/investment accounting vs more experience in CRE software...? I don't want to lateral into a new niche if it's not valuable "business knowledge," even if it is an immediate bump in salary.

My ultimate goal is to find a high-paying job that leverages both technical and finance knowledge. Finance excites me because of the potential to make a lot of money, but I just don't know enough to know which experience would be valued more on the market.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
