Tools, Trends, What Pays (and What Doesn't) 
for Data Professionals

Hello DSC Member,

The 2014 Data Science Salary Report is here. After an extremely popular salary survey last year, O’Reilly Media’s second annual report delves deeper into responses from over 800 data professionals from a wide range of industries, across 41 U.S. states and 53 countries. The report analyzes the tools that successful data analysts and engineers use, and how those tool choices relate to their compensation.

Findings from the report include:

• Average number of tools and median income for all respondents
• Distribution of responses by factors such as age, location, industry, position, and cloud computing
• Detailed analysis of tool use, including tool clusters
• Correlation of tool usage and salary

Get the details to these career-changing insights—and plug your own variables into the regression model to find out where you fit in the data space.
