Not a lucrative career working in data science and tech - if you are okay exploiting others, I suggest you consider a consulting firm that is paid millions (i.e. Deloitte) by companies like Walmart, Tyson, CVS to use internal data and “find” the same insights that are a copy of prior analyses done in-house. These firms are overpaid and do nothing but give a rubber stamp of approval. Lucrative here is insulting the individuals employed by the company that paid you to add no value.
Compensation increases as you grow as a consultant will usually be higher than data scientist. The exception is if you go to a startup and receive equity, which usually comes with a higher risk due to lower cash compensation overall
If you want to code the rest of your life the latter, if not then consultant will make way more because you hit partner.
