Like.... 1 mil total comp. But that's outside of consulting and true data scientists, not the fake data scientists we have in consulting.

These huge numbers are like the top 5% who probably have PHDs and can write their own MlL algorithms - not your every day data jockey who knows a few languages and can use stock packages

It's worse than that. These huge numbers are the absolute top of their field, and is not a reachable level without a lucky stroke of genius that explodes into its own subfield of academia.

Typical "real" data scientists who can write their own algorithms, in tech and in the bay area where pay is huge, will make around 160k (including stock) fresh with a PhD and top publications, going up to maybe around 400k end career (including stock). Netflix is notable because they match the competition but pay it all in salary instead of half in restricted stock units or options.

Finance quants can go much higher, but those numbers aren't as publicized and churn is high.

And like. Legit quants at certain shops can absolutely rake it in.

Tech will be definitely highest then consulting then corporate. The difference is you can move from tech to the other two but not the other way around after a few years.

At real tech company? Unlimited.

Especially in quant finance, it can go a long way

oh yeah quant HF, I heard 10mil for sure.

We should ask a data scientist to work this out for us...

Ironically data science may be unable to answer this question, as all the technique in the world may be stymied by lack of access to good data representing the part of the distribution you care about, and/or lack of clarity in the definition of the measures.

Recently promoted senior and the raise was surprisingly higher than expected. I had applied to a position before knowing about the promotion and raise. I don’t think the position will be able to match the new raise since I was promoted early (new job level is based on years of experience rather than title). Should I politely bow out? Not sure how to handle the situation, any advice is much appreciated!
