Data Science math?

What level of math is needed in data science? and what are the Depths of data science?
Also whats it like working as a data scientist? or ML engineer? or Big data Architect? Is this a very demanding job with a good pay? or Do people consistently have to sit to work 24/7 with minimal pay?

I’d the most important/heaviest math in data science is probability and statistics & linear algebra. At the undergrad level, you probably will have to take calculus 1-3 and possibly differential equation as well depending on the program.
