"Data Science" job titles have weaker salary progression than eng. job titles

From this analysis of \~750k jobs in Data Science/ML it seems that engineering jobs offer better salaries than those related to data science. Does it really mean it's better to focus on engineering/software dev. skills?


IMO it's high time to take a new path and focus on mastering engineering/software dev/ML ops instead of just analyzing the data.
