Data Science vs Data Engineering

I am a Full Stack software developer. I mostly work on Backend (Pyhon , Node.js , Go lang) , Frontend (React, React-Native & Vue) , DB (SQL , Mongo , Redis).

Now a days , Job market in USA is very tough for SDE roles ( it is even harder for international students and international H1B holders due to many restrictions). I am an international student in USA , will complete my Master's in 1 year (approx Dec, 2023). In this tough time , I am trying to expand my knowledge for other job related tech stacks. I want to learn another field (apart from Full-stack development) in the year 2023.

I am currently exploring Data science vs Data Engineering.

By Data science , I am also including (AI-ML-DL)
and
By Data Engineering , I means technologies like Hadoop, Spark, Hive, HBase , Kafka etc.

for job prospect , which field will be better. I understand that both of these fields may have good scope. But as a individual which one do you think is better , if you are in my situation.
