Macro Sales vs Repo Trading (Treasury)?

Would appreciate your opinion on moving from Macro Sales to Repo Trading? < 3y experience

Pros:

- Opportunity to switch to Trading

- More technical, learning new skills

- Desk also trading longer tenor (warehousing some risks) although majority still is repo activity

Cons:

- Considerably lower compensation on the medium term (until I move up or out)

- Not the best Balance Sheet
