Future prospects in data analyst ?

It is generally considered as when you join FAANG you are a software developer, with tags such as SDE I or II or III. But I've heard very little about analysts/data engineers/data scientists in these companies. I am a B.Tech final year student and I'll be joining a Data Analysis startup firm in June this year. So I wanted to know about my future opportunities in FAANG companies, I want to know if the salaries offered by these companies for such roles are similar to the Developer role and firstly do they provide opportunities for students coming from a background like mine?

Is data engineer a good carrier to opt for considering the salary, growth and future prospects?

I am a fresher and I am not getting shortlisted. I am trying for data analyst and PM roles. Now, I am considering changing my job role. Do you have any suggestions for me? Which is the best career option (not a proper coding role like SDE, DEVELOPER, ETC. )? Will this career sustain in the future? What is the pay for that role?

I am a fresher working as a Data analyst in a growing startup. My current role doesn't include much of coding just python and SQL and sometimes little bit ML work. Currently handling 2 projects, and some of PM work to define some roadmaps. I like engineering and coding in whole and want to know more. So do I switch to some SDE role or is there are more paths after Data analytics? I know ML, DL and NLP but not sure will it be a great choice to make career primarily in Data science. So, I am little confused. Please give all good advices. Thanks A curious Engineer

Currently I have 1.5 yoe as a data scientist with CTC of 6 lpa. Thinking of transitioning to Data Analyst or SDE but can't figure out. I have graduated in Mechanical Engineering, so I don't have the pedigree to become a good SDE. What you all think?

23 grad,got placed as associate data scientist at tredence analytics at 12lpa How is data engineering/science as a career and how easy is it to shift to sde backend roles after 1 year,had one more offer of sde at 8lpa but rejected that as it was from a small startup so risk.of.layoffs

Is switching to Data Engineering from SDE worth it in 2023 ? What are the companies having high demands for DE roles ? Mention approximate salaries for a developer with 2-3YOE.
