Data Scientists are in demand, well paid and many call it the sexiest job of the century. This may all be true, but also other professions within the area of data can bring you good money.

Here are some professions that are in the field of data and have relations to the job of the Data Scientist. Let’s see what the scope of duties is and especially what you can earn here.

The Data Architect

Data Architects help with planning and building data platforms and are also managing and enhancing them. So you need to be familiar with IT technology, data technology and the cloud — that’s the only way to bring all the individual services together in a meaningful way, whether it’s data interfaces or ML services. Approaches such as Data Mesh and Data Lakehouse are becoming increasingly popular. As a rough estimation, you can say that on average, a Data Architect in Europe earns 76.165€/ year (roughly 80.306 US $)[1]. Similar to Data Scientists and Data Engineers, companies located in the US often pay a little more: Here, you start with an average base salary of 143.573 US $[2].
