The difference favors big tech in salary but the profession always favors MBB.

The progression in big tech gets slow and hard at a certain point with what are known as terminal levels (L5 at Google or L6 at Amazon). Both of these roles will pay 20-50% + more BUT the next level will likely take 3-5 years to get to (if at all). Big tech isn’t like MBB in that there’s no up or out, so many people get log-jammed at this level and the promotion is nowhere as guaranteed.

If you can get to higher levels at MBB you can somewhat skip that logjam and likely come in at a higher level (easier said that done).

Discount the software engineers salary by 15% to 20% to estimate the salary for a non technical role at the same level, in case not enough data points on Levels.fyi.
Also I was in the same shoes choosing MBB or FAANG a few months back. Happy to chat more via DM.
