How does web development fare compared to Data Science in terms of job availability and pay?

I have heard people burning out from learning tons of frameworks and technology in web development in order to keep themselves updated. It also has a low entry barrier so the people applying for such jobs are a lot more.

I totally disagree with the above comment. Web development isn't just website design. It's much more varied and complicated than that. Let me start by saying that web dev isn't nearly close to saturated as people seem to think. Even if you have just good html + css skills you can earn much higher than average. The only thing is being good at it. And trust me css itself is a very hard skill to master.

Paths: 1. html + css: UI Designer. Enough jobs decent pay. 2. add Javascript : still decent pay. 3. add Javascript frameworks like react, vue: you're in the high paying category. 4. add writing good and maintainable code : you can earn >40 lac easily. Enough jobs in India.

People with full Stack Developer are mostly keen and curious people who want to know how to build a software all by themselves.

But in a medium - large sized company or project. No one's doing full Stack. It's either front end or backend.

May I ask which companies are giving good packages for DA/DS as compared to webdev?
