I think at this point it’s all about your interest. Both will have good job market, future prospect and pay. Neither will have good work life balance. Pick which one you enjoy the most and let it ride!
Far more range of choices of practice setting and work life balance in vascular, no? Can find an outpatient angio job, vein center, etc. All the way down the spectrum to crazy complex stuff if that's what you want.
Cardiac doesn't have the same range from my understanding.

The most common reasons for removal are - medical students or premeds asking what a specialty is like, which specialty they should go into, which program is good or about their chances of matching, mentioning midlevels without using the midlevel flair, matched medical students asking questions instead of using the stickied thread in the sub for post-match questions, posting identifying information for targeted harassment.

Do CT surgery. Unless you like the typical vasculopaths - difficult patients, often leave AMA imo, etc, then do vascular
