A Data Science Central Community
Guest blog post.
In continuation of our series exploring the data science community, we are now exploring salary patterns of data scientists. The below chart shows data from Indeed.com & the top 10 locations with the highest concentration of data scientists.
The median of these top 10 cities is between $142,000 to $148,000/year. The higher end of the scale is in New York & San Francisco which reflects the demand from employers as well as the relative costs of living there. At the lower end of the scale is Austin, LA & Seattle.
We explored salary trends for three other common analytics job titles: Director, Marketing Analytics, Manager Analytics & Analytics Engineer. We found the same location salary differentials with New York & San Francisco being the highest & Austin, Seattle & LA being at the lower end.
While we found that Director level positions having a roughly $10,000 difference from Data scientists across locations but they were paid about $5-$15,000 more than Managers of Analytics. Among the 4 job titles we studied, we found that analytics engineers were the lower paid and ranges from $102,000 in Austin to $147,000 in New York.
We wanted to do a quick survey among the Data Science Central community members to benchmark salaries among various job titles, industries & locations with the larger data set. The survey shouldn’t take more than a minute to fill out and when we have a large sample set, we can share the data back with the community.
