Guidance needed : DT vs IDT

Hey everyone, I’m a lawyer currently practicing in direct tax matters. I wanted to understand the practical difference between direct and indirect tax litigation in terms of:

- Nature of work and litigation exposure

- Professional growth and long-term career prospects

- Monetary opportunities and market demand

- Which field is comparatively easier for a non-CA lawyer to understand and excel in

Since my background is in law and not accountancy, I’d also appreciate insights on whether direct tax or indirect tax is more suitable from a learning and practice perspective for someone like me.

Would love to hear opinions from professionals practicing in these areas.
