SWE vs BizOps

I'm currently at MS/GS TMT. Looking to exit into tech, and hopefully climb up the ladder. 

I have a CS degree. Would it make more sense to exit into SWE or Biz-OPs/Strategic Finance for long term upward mobility/moves into product? Have offers for both on the table at FAANG/FAANG equivalent companies and need to make a decision
