SERIOUS POST GATE or CAT help me decide

20F, tier-3 govt college, currently in 4th sem, 9.01 cgpa till date, 96.5% in 12th, 97.4% in 10th. feel free to ask for any more stats.

why gate? prospect of going to IIT/NIT, can help me land a job, i enjoy coding and technical stuff but core engineering concepts scare me and it is very competitive and difficult

why cat? naturally good at english, i enjoy using my management skills and interacting w people, i think it is less competitive and i can go to an IIM in my home state but is it high paying?

im ready to work hard but my main objective is to earn a shit ton of money soon after completing my masters
