Differences between Corporate Accounting and FP&A?

I've had experience working as a corporate accountant, but I really disliked the lack of analysis, little face time with others, journal entries, and other monotonous and routine work. Is FP&A less boring? What is FP&A at a F500 company like in comparison?

Here are examples of each of the jobs I mentioned:
