Two paths diverged in the stupidest wood ever, and yeah I'm sorry I can't travel both

Various shakeups are happening in my region, and apparently it's time for me to step out of my comfy PSM position (basically SM, you know how that goes, all the power and none of the responsibility, pretty sweet gig ngl) and pick a lane.

I got the RM in one ear promising me all the riches of Agartha if I move towards getting my own store. In the other ear is the CRM, whispering cloying words about how the commercial customers ask for me by name and I always have my eye on the KPI and wouldn't it be nice to have my own commercial program? Like two elder gods playing dice for the fate of my soul.

Both positions have their pros and cons for me. I'd love to have full control over a store, but I don't want to deal with the employee HR drama bullshit that comes with it. I'd love to have the commercial desk and start building my own ecosystem there, but (I know this about myself) I'm not THAT good of a salesman so I probably wouldn't excel there, despite enjoying the work. CRM is just gassing me up.

Everybody at my store just shrugs and says "Tough choice man, hope it works out." Any of yall have some insight? Any SMs or CSMs in the chat? I don't post on Reddit a lot but I thought I'd throw this one into the breeze.
