After 5 years working in this field you should have all necessary information to make your own decision.

So what? Make your own decisions in life; it's your life, not theirs.

No way to tell you what is easier because it will depend on what you find to be easier. And everyone's definition of sql developer and sql dba will likely be different.

For me, a SQL DBA is the one who tunes indexes, writes the t-sql statements, performs backups, etc.

A SQL Developer probably only writes t-sql and will likely also write some .net to interact with it.
