[40k] Within the Imperial Guard do tankers or fighter pilots have an easier go of things?

Lots is made of how awful the lot of a guardsman is, thrown into combat with garbage tier armor and weaponry compared to what the enemy is packing, expected to just tank the enemy through sheer numbers, it seems rough. But IG tanks aren't that bad, and I assume their fighter jets are likewise better. If you can snag a spot on the crew of a Leman Russ tank is life as bad/scary for you? You're still going into battle but at least you've got a fighting chance when some ork rolls a mad max murder machine at you.

Well yes and no.

If you are a Baneblade crewmate you are a lot more protected than the classic guard.

BUT

You won't be send against soft troops. You are in a very heavy vehicle, you are expected to fight very heavy enemy troops.

So bye bye cultists, orks... Hello gargants, titans...
