Per my observation, the most 'interesting' part of a data scientist's job is story telling, that is using data analysis to draft a theory to push forward for product direction. Some of the ML engineers works under Data Scientist umbrella, but since the DL thing happens, they are now putting under even fancier titles like AI Engineers or such.
So data scientists are really product manager/owner with analysis skills. Is this job interesting? For sure, when it follows this definition. Interesting? That only depends on the problem domain, not the title, IMHO.
