Data science at SM

Just started a data science role at a top SM (discussed on here often) and wondering how it compares to fundamental analyst roles (in retrospect, definitely should've figured all of this out before I joined but was enjoying senior year too much). I know the work is obviously quite different; more so considering 1) what laterals to analyst roles look like (if possible?); 2) investment exposure/ability to build an investor framework from a DS role; 3) comp/bonus/upside; 4) general exit opportunities. Any information/advice is appreciated!
