Notes -
I'm not sure what boatloads of money means to you.
This probably wouldn't be enough to regularly fly out Instathots to do what thots do in Dubai, but given your SQL Godliness: entry-level/junior data scientists at FAANG-adjacent companies and more senior data scientist roles at tech and fintech start-ups/companies can make ~150K USD or the local equivalent (not necessarily all cash), give or take a few thousands to tens of thousands depending on the exact role, how they value your skillset, and your ability to negotiate. This would be more along the lines of data analytics rather than machine learning roles, which can be very different roles within a given company. There are also generally a lot more data analytics roles than machine learning roles, much less machine learning research.
Such data analytics roles typically heavily value SQL (rather than sklearn, TensorFlow, or something), thus this is where your skill-set comes in. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide as to how you weigh location, compensation, growth, personal interest, and exit opportunities, and may depend on your citizenship/residency.
