Quant Research at Market Maker vs Hedge Fund

I am interested in maximising career earnings. Which do you think represents the better opportunity, quant research within a market maker (Jane Street, Jump Trading, Citadel, Optiver, XTX etc.) or within a 'hedge fund' (Winton, G-Research, GSA capital, RenTech, DE Shaw) etc. How easy is it to switch between the two types? How similar are the two roles. Exit opportunities to tech also beneficial.

Thanks
