Career Ops

I recently accepted a full-time offer at a broker dealer. I will be on the sales team, and love the firm love the people had a great summer experience. The firm is well established, but I look at my peers who are entering IB or the buy-side, and have so much more opportunities both money and career wise. I know I could be happy here, but at the same time I think I would be happy both in IB or the buy-side. I was wondering if anyone who faced a similar decision had any advice on why they did what they did with their future, and whether the future in sell side S&T had as much money making opportunities as in the past, or if this will pigeonhole me into the sellside forever.
