I wish I had real numbers. So instinct from what I've seen:
- a data analyst role rebranded as a DS role will be lower paid than a DE role, maybe 50% diff
- an actual DS role is probably higher paid than a DE role, but really depends on the job+co
- a great DS role and a great DE role are both super well compensated. Though maybe again DS higher than DE in most just b/c ability to more directly drive $. Unless something like an infra company, the DS will be inherently closer to the business & outcomes. ("I did this clever thing that netted 2% revenue spike that adds up to $40M/yr in new revenue, what did you do?")
Am I understood correctly that there is much more demand for DE than for DS?
