Big 3 Commercial Insurance Brokerage: Generalist Client Manager or Specialist Cyber Broker?

Currently a first-year analyst in a graduate program. From a career progression standpoint, I'm undecided on if I want to stay in corporate insurance or transition into the risk consulting space. As I'm in a rotational program, my options for the next rotation are to move into an industry-specific account management team (Mining, Infrastructure, Healthcare etc.), or into a specialty placement team (such as Cyber) with some client-facing work.

One provides more variety of clients but I'd be a generalist broker, while the other is an opportunity to specialize in the fastest-growing niche (cyber insurance). Which would put me in a better position growth-wise?
