I've been comparing career tracks after an online MBA and wanted to share what I found, in case it helps anyone choosing between the two.
Data science pays more on average. Data Scientists average ₹15L, with a range of ₹9.88L to ₹23L, while Data Analysts average ₹6.6L, ranging from ₹4.32L to ₹10L. Business Analysts sit in the middle at an average of ₹9L. If you're curious about the mba data analytics salary path, the entry is also easier, since hiring focuses on SQL, dashboards and business thinking.
The catch with data science is the screening. Employers expect Python, statistics and real projects, so theory alone rarely gets you shortlisted.
At leadership level the gap narrows. Analytics Managers average ₹25L, and Data Science Managers average ₹34.9L.
My takeaway is that your skills and project work matter more than the track name, and the MBA mainly helps you land business-facing roles faster.
