From tech to finance

Hi all,
I am a new graduate in EU, graduation in April with MSc in statistics and BSc in economics and finance both same target university. Right now I received an offer to work in FAANG as a Business Analyst. The idea is that I still do not know if I want to stay more technical and go to the data science route or maybe go on a business role. Tech internal transfers are very easy and they allow me to see different functions. The problem is that I am having second doubts. The salary discrepancy in EU between tech and banking is huge, coming from a target I think I am really missing out an opportunity to not pursue finance and I do not despise the IB/ER -> HF route. Do you think the move is still feasible after that I experience tech in two year or it is better to do the other way around ?
