Can data science overcome quantitative finance in terms of employment and salary?
Well, I think you are asking a relevant question.

It can be explained using a Social Darwinian Perspective.
First, the Simple answer =>

YES =>
Quantitative Finance will get absorbed into Data Sciences and Machine Learning Areas as a sub-field.

WHY?
Because many subjects develop independently, but after sometimes they get assimilated into the much larger disciplines or subjects which offers more attractive career remuneration, research opportunities, social status, social mobility and scholarly following and readership.
Statistical models of learning are going through the same phase! They, too, are getting absorbed into DS -Data Sciences and Machine Learning. This is a Darwinian Process as far as I am concerned.
The weak is replaced by the strong.
It is inevitable!
Have a look at some subjects that were taught during the 19th and early parts of the 20th century such as Comparative religious studies, Divinity, Theology, Classics and other liberal arts
which are today no more in demand in the job market, and hence, are not being taught at most of the universities. The faculties have been closed down, and the degrees have been withdrawn.
When Natural Science Courses experienced such difficulty, the professionals from this industry jumped into Econometrics, Corporate Finance, Operations Research, Economics and Quantitative Finance!
No wonder, you find so many mathematicians and statisticians working in the financial services and economic consulting industries.
So, in my opinion, it is the survival of the fittest in the world of academia!

#Darwin
Unfit subjects will die their own death or will ultimately get sucked into much larger and more successful fields. Financial Engineering and QF - Quantitative Finance (largely discredited after the global credit crisis of 2007–09)
would ultimately seek refuge in AI - Artificial Intelligence, Coding, Programming Analytics, Data Mining Methods and the other exciting ML - Machine Learning Models.

Wealth Management as a subject is rapidly evolving.
Private Banking and Wealth Management Teams are offering all kinds of exciting financial and portfolio management solutions for the long term.

For e.g. I was speaking to a Wealth Manager at a conference a few years back!
He told me that even Aged Cigars and certain Alcoholic Products such as Cognac, Wine, and Champagne, etc. It is a great investment, as their value augments, as time passes by!

The impacts of exchange rate volatility on the monetary base has different scenario-based outcomes.
NFA and NDA both can increase and decrease with currency appreciation and depreciation over time.
It might become difficult for the central bank to mop up excess liquidity.
NFAs are Net Foreign Assets(foreign denominated balances) and NDAs(domestic currency denominated balances) are Net Domestic Assets.
That is how most central banks like to categorize the two components of the money supply.
It further breaks down into M1, M2, M3 and so on, etc.
Going back to the basics of Fixed Income Economics and Portfolio Investments aka Bond Markets, we need to understand, the liquidity preference theory, preferred habit theory, and market segmentation theory, to extrapolate yields & risk expectation formations across the rate-curve

Should basic human needs be catered to as services within the framework of a market order, where forces of demand and supply shall determine the price for each interaction aka transaction and the social value created for the consumer via production, exchange and consumption?
For e.g. should the receiver of services in lieu of tax money and welfare benefits earmarked by a government in areas such as health and education be treated as consumers in any other industry?
Should we have the option to choose the most efficient hospitals, and schools?
Each public service providing institution should be corporatized?
Each public service institution should have a Profit and Loss A/c and a balance sheet?
Each public service institution should treat recipients as buyers of products and their interactions akin to transactions?

Is this Unanticipated or Anticipated Inflation Risk?
This is what economists need to explain to us!
We knew it was coming due to the reflationary policy stance of central banks in the first world, and elsewhere.
But, the augmented rate was not unexpected.
But, this is not the 1970s, when oil price shocks, and other supply-side macroeconomic and microeconomic distortions of the postwar years raised the inflation rate unexpectedly to astronomical heights.
I don't see any massive stagflation developing due to technological gains.
Yes, the "PHILLIPS CURVE" is officially deceased.
won't return again!
Monetarists and some other schools of thought have created hues and cries of the return of the economic phantom, but, no, it won't happen.
Prices and #Unemployment have been disentangled.

As part of the Financial Literacy Programs, all individuals must learn how to manage their retirement investment proceeds and personal wealth.
Many people misconstrue that such planning is not important and should be solely left to either the employer or the govt!
How wrong!
In most of the developing countries where old-age financial benefits are not sponsored or guaranteed by the government, via social safety nets, the vulnerable people are left at the mercy of the market, extended family network or the philanthropist to help them.
Even private sector firms, which provide access to #provident and #pension fund designed retirement investment planning schemes, are no guarantee, of a safe and smooth exit out of the workforce due to #Systemic Risk which can destabilize the economy or the society in the long run
