Engineers who switched to full-time hydraulic modeling, what's it like?

I'm in a job where I do both engineering plans, and hydraulic modeling, but I am coming to the point where I need to choose one or the other (I have a PE in the US).

I have a good grasp on what a long-term career looks like as an engineer, but what does that look like for full-time modeling?

How does advancement work? Did you move into a supervisory role? Do you still work with plans, specs, and estimates? Does it limit your job opportunities for the future?
