But don't they take only masters and above students? The barrier for entry is high, naturally the pay would be higher. 
  
 What is the general pay for that in FAANGs?

Software Engineer

How much higher do applied scientist roles pay in India? And how much higher is it than sde?

Growth Manager

Software Developer

I can see data roles are paid less .

Is it true?
Many consider data roles as less coding(tech)
