Stuck between two very differnet offers

Both are for associate 1. 

Offer 1: Solid MM Bank in SF Consumer

Offer 2: Non-traditional opportunity. Energy transition company with an M&A arm. Comp would be 120 base, 100% bonus and role would be fully remote. Expect to grind but probably a little less than traditional banking.

My background is in consumer which I love but I keep going back and forth on offer 2 as it is very solid money for the fact that's it's remote which is super rare in finance. I'm in my late 20s, I like SF but probably not a place I want to settle down long term. Anyone who's worked remote before have any insight?
