Second VP1.
Depends on what you define as your profession as a data scientist. I’m not in python and R anymore; as I spend all my time on deliverables and client engagement and TPM. I demand 180 minimum due to the skillsets, YoE, and other variables.
That will only increase rapidly depending on my profession which is now focused in BD bridging what data science can do for clients.

Not anymore, I joined consulting this year. But let’s chat anyway.

500-700K at big tech places for IC roles. I think quant finance can pay even more than that.

After that it’s really in your best interest to switch to leadership roles like Director and above if you wanna crack 1-10 million.

Also keep in mind comp only goes up. 3 years ago 400K was considered upper end. Today it’s just a regular Senior DS offer at many tech companies

like

Yes my numbers are for SF primarily. With how remote work is becoming the norm expect high end offers becoming common from Bay Area tech companies hiring in low cost places too. Not 400K but I can definitely see 300K in Texas or Florida

Anyone that doesn't do general management will pretty much top out at mid management levels. That's cause top of any field is about strategic use of a skill, and not actually performing the skill.

I think OP is more interested in what salaries can an individual contributer earn in as an actual “data scientist”. Let’s assume a role where data science is the product ie data robot, data bricks etc, I think those guys can get 150-200 base with just as much in RSUs. If you’re talking about “data science” in BI, where you’re really just assisting with reporting/forecasting, I think ICs top out at more like 125 with either 20-30% in bonus or RSU depending on company comp model. DS does not pay as well as consulting or software in my experience, unless you can get into a hedge fund

Would second that ICs could make up to 400.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
