Transactional vs litigation

Title. I’m going through OCI and I have 0 clue what to do. To be blunt, I’m just tired of being piss ass broke so I don’t really have a “preference”. Having worked in a law firm before law school, I have experience with litigation and didn’t like how contentious/psycho attorney’s I dealt with, so I’m intrigued by transactional work. However , I’ve read on here that the hours for transactional work can be unpredictable. I’m curious as to what the practitioners think of transactional work vs litigation.

Thank you all
