Sr. FP&a will have better pay but worse wlb, usually. Maybe same wlb in some orgs

Senior FP&A if you're good with presentations and people. Senior staff accountant if you're not. If you're really not sure pick the bigger company/department. Bigger company will give you more room to move departments you'd like, better pay generally and more room to move up. Also in both accounting and FP&A, company size matters. Not saying the job is better, but it's easier to go smaller from a big company than big from a small company. This rule applies even moreso for publicly traded companies.
