Tech Sales or Data Science - Who makes more?

As the title says: Tech Sales or Data Science - Who makes more?

Curious to know who makes more on average and in the top 25 percentile. I imagine its obviously Data Scientists but I also imagine its easier to make bank in Tech Sales vs Data Science.

Anyway, would love to hear your opinions and pros'/cons to each

Thanks!
