A Data Science Central Community
Found the message below in my mailbox today. Is such a high salary possible? The subject line was "$320,000 Java architect/developer with Cloud computing and Big Data experience". Here's the message (anonymized by respect for the recruiter). I added the picture myself.
I am a recruiter seeking Java architect/developers with Cloud Computing and big data expertise. If you know anyone who would like a $300k-$320k job, please have them call me if they have a similar profile like the one below. Thank you. If you have friends in California with Java development experience with Big Dat and Cloud Computing there are so many $200k-250k jobs in the California area also.

I also discussed a chief data scientist position directly with Microsoft a few months ago, and mentioned that I'm out of the market as I am over-priced and working from home. I casually said "I suppose this is not paying more than $200K" and the answer, from the hiring manager, was "several times that amount". The job was a good fit for a senior data scientist with a good operations research background.
