In a few months I will have 3 years of experience in data analytics/science . I have 2 years experience as a data analyst at a F100 company and year as a Sr. Data Analytics consultant at D. My base pay is around 110k . Am I underpaid? I also have an MS in Analytics from a top school and I am highly proficient Python coder / SQl dev with a good GitHub. I know Linux, Python , sql and aws and dash boarding very very well. What do I need to do to increase my salary? What should it be and what title?

So for context, I have an MS in Applied Math, 7 YOE, and recently accepted a job outside of Deloitte after getting 2 FAANG, 1 FinTech, and 1 major consumer goods offers.

Honestly it depends how good you actually are at data science. Are you a stack overflow warrior who can copy and paste code and make minor adaptations to get it running? Or are you someone who genuinely understands the algorithms and has intuition about how the mathematical behavior of the models interacts with the business problems?

I manage a team of 5 data scientists / analysts and have had 8 others though the years and only 2 of them fell into category 2.

A degree in "analytics" and limited YOE (most at Deloitte) leads me to believe it's the former. The labor market is dumb right now, so go do a FAANG or FinTech interview of you want to check, but I wager you're slightly overpaid.

Yes… I am at 107k as a visualization consultant with 3 yoe, none in consulting or data science. I have limited abilities with python, sql, and dashboarding, and no cloud skills. No masters in analytics either

I’d go and throw your resume out there at FAANG companies. I don’t know if you’re underpaid, but if you can pass the interview bar, you could easily be clearing 200+

You came to D as an SC with 2 YOE??

If you think you are very very good then leave. If Deloitte too feels you are very very good then they’ll offer you higher pay to retain.

Yes indeed they will have to

What city are you in?

The rounded skills of being able to create a good model, make it scalable to implement and be able to communicate really well about it to clients and their business leads (non tech) as to what problem your data science solution solves.. is what will give you that outstanding career in DA/AI/Analytics “consulting”…

if you think you have that rounded skills by all means look for better opportunities and pay.

But if you are absolutely fab at data science work but haven’t had opportunities to hone your 1) large scale data science implementation 2) experience with business users/leaders comms then D Is a good place to work on it .. then you can raise your bar at D and ask for more pay or switch with better skills leverage!

Here everyone will tell every one else that they are underpaid , too much underpaid ! Now what ?

If you are a data analyst or you want to be one you should be able to figure this out. Since you are posting here, you aren’t or you aren’t a good data analyst.

So in the best case you are overpaid.

Well ur a meany lol

You could explore analytics engineering. You may be able to get more money elsewhere. I was getting paid 125K as an analytics engineer in LA with 5 years or experience, but I had a coworker getting paid the same amount with fewer years. You could probably see around 140-150+ in the Bay Area. Worth a shot to try
