Okay, here's your opinion from an industry expert (naw, just kidding--"expert" is rather a reach for me I guess).
The advice about suiting your interest is the best so far.
Here's the fact of it all: The roles of a quality engineer and quality auditor are often fundamentally different. Quality engineering is technically based, and auditing is largely people-oriented.
That said, both skills can help the other job's performance. People skills can help a quality engineer get things done because the people element is usually involved in some way. The engineering knowledge helps an auditor understand what he/she is looking at and how things could be improved.
I've had CQE and CQA certifications for several years (recently expired) and am not auditing quality, environmental and safety systems. The technical aspect of engineering helps a great deal, but I think the people aspect of auditing makes the work more appealing than quality engineering would be.
It's hard to shine when you are not in the right line of work. I would find it hard to advance if I am not doing the work that's right for me, and thus perform well enough to get noticed and grow into management. You should decide what type of work would best suit you, so you can grow into the level you seek. It's not necessarily a logical decision; your emotions and temperament are more important than a linear-looking career path.
