Retired United Captain who wanted a job in his home town.  Great attitude, worked out well.  Only thing I noticed was he tended not to be prepared for what adverse environmental conditions precautionary landings might bring about, plus he never really got the rest he needed to deal with single pilot operations.  But, all is well that ended well.

Most airplane to rotor conversions wind up going back to airplane work because those operations tend to be far better supported in real time; such as two pilots, better ground support, etc.

But, far more fun 🤩 in helicopters doing VFR/IFR than staring at the same old IFR airplane instrument panel runway to runway.  

Money?  For helicopters corporate work is best you in my experience, for airplanes the airlines (you'll be able to buy a 🚁!).
