I’m torn between marine defence consulting and a power industry role in Australia, which has stronger future prospects?

I’m trying to think long term about my career and would really appreciate some perspective from people in industry. I’m based in Australia.

I’m an electrical engineering graduate currently working in a hands on drafting and product coordination role at a power related manufacturing company. It gives me exposure to operations, logistics, and how systems come together on the factory floor. Recently though, I received an offer for a Graduate Electrical Engineer role at a marine defence consultancy focused on ship design and technical support.

What I’m really struggling to understand is the future pathway of each option. If I go into marine defence consulting, does that tend to lock you into that niche long term, or are the skills transferable into other industries later? On the other hand, if I stay where I am and build experience around power and manufacturing, would that create a stronger pathway into sectors like mining or resources in Australia down the track?

I’m less focused on short term pay and more on which direction will give me better long term flexibility and growth as an electrical engineer. Anyone who has worked in marine defence, mining, or power or manufacturing, I would really value your honest insight.
