Weighing two job offers: Senior Financial Analyst vs. Senior Pricing Analyst roles

I'm currently weighing two job offers and feeling quite anxious about making the right choice. The first offer is from a mid-sized consumer goods company for a Senior Financial Analyst role in Supply Chain, with a base salary of $105,000 plus a 10% target bonus, which could bring in an additional $10,500. The work setup is remote with optional office visits, and the role focuses on supply chain and operational FP&A, which I find appealing. The benefits are solid, including comprehensive health coverage, a generous 401(k) match with a quick vesting schedule, and 17 vacation days plus sick leave and holidays. The second offer is from a global market data and analytics firm for a Senior Pricing Analyst role, offering a base of $100,000 with a 5% bonus. However, they are currently not offering any bonus for 2026 due to their cutoff, and the first merit raise isn't until late 2027. This role is also remote but involves a rush to onboard me due to urgent deliverables, which raises concerns about work-life balance. While the benefits are decent, they don't compare to the first offer, especially in terms of the 401(k) vesting schedule and overall cash value. My dilemma revolves around the higher pay and better work-life balance of the first offer versus the potential career pivot into commercial pricing with the second offer. I'm feeling a bit burnt out on traditional FP&A work and am tempted to go with the first offer for the immediate financial security and better overall package. I would appreciate any thoughts or reality checks on this decision!
