Tech Analyst or Business Analyst?

I'm an undergrad trying to go into IB majoring in CS.

Becoming a business analyst is possible given the internships I had, but I believe that I'm more in line with becoming a tech analyst since I enjoy coding.

Is it harder/easier to climb the ladder as a tech analyst or is it about the same? Do the salary and work hours differ?
