Very generalized question, but if offered a role between data architect vs data engineer, which would you select? What’s more In demand? What has a better outlook?

Industry is healthcare and would utilize cloud infrastructure.

Depends how much I'm getting paid for either. Data engineering is more fun and hands on, but architecture will enable better long term solutions (if they know what they're talking about).

data engineer, unless you’ve had a similar role before. everyone who does IC type stuff usually hates Data architects that don’t know what they’re talking about

Thanks for all the insight!

Data Engineer for sure

Depends on what you want to do with your career. From what I’ve seen, Data Architects will oversee teams of data personnel including data engineers.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
