If you knew either path would succeed, Who would you want to be in 10 years? Someone who struggled through a tech downturn, but then was in the right place to rocket forward in a tech career, so in 10 years you are at the top of the game... or someone who launched a coffee company, and in 10 years is running a coffee shop?

Either answer is fine, but you should be looking more at where you will land in the long term, not the short term.
