BB Commercial Banking or Big Tech FP&A/FRP Program

I've often heard these two paths are great in terms of salary and having wlb but I wanted to compare the two in specific. 

What would be a better path to take in the case of Commercial Banking at jpmc vs Microsoft FRP or an adjacent F50  program? 

I know that intern/entry level Comm banking is higher at bugle bracket but salary progression is a lot higher in FP&A/FRP type programs so I wanted a holistic comparison on this as well as future career trajectory and exit opportunities.
