Pick the role you actually fit, not the one that looks best on the poster.

Some positions are glamorous and some are useful, and they are not always the same one. Choosing by how it sounds out loud usually lands you a year of being mediocre at something, while the thing you would have been excellent at goes to somebody else. Fit is not a smaller ambition. It is the fastest route to being genuinely good at something.
Ask which part of the work you would do even if nobody knew you did it. Try that role for a stretch, properly, before you decide it is beneath the plan. The title matters far less than being the person other people are glad is there.
Which role suits you better than the one you wanted?
