Need help choosing a role

I am in a situation where I need to choose my next role. I can be a program manager working end to end on a program, a product manager for relatively and R&D team, or a software engineer with the R&D team. While I don’t hate coding, and have some basic experience, I am someone who would loves to be a part of the bigger picture, and feels that software engineering is a bit narrow in that aspect. Please help me choose.

I’ve 2.5 YoE and has been a program manager who has handled product functions as well. I equally love all of the above 3 roles.

Would advise against software engineering if it's not something you're 100% keen on

Picking between PM and PgM should be easy

How's it easy to pick between product or program roles?

The difference between product and program is quite significant

If Engineering, I would prefer native app development (have a few small apps published on play store as well)
