1 Increasing demand in corporates- Data science remains a career on the rise, consistently regarded as one of the most in-demand fields for much of the past decade, and in 2021 this shows no sign of slowing down at all. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 27.9% growth in data science occupations through 2026. LinkedIn reported a shortage of over 151,000 data scientists across the United States in 2018, particularly in the New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles metro areas.
2 High base salaries - When you are in an emerging and high-demand field as data science with such a scarcity of qualified candidates, that’s naturally going to merit an extremely competitive salary base and growth window. Data science is no exception. According to Glassdoor, the average base salary for a data scientist is $114,673 a year as of April 2021. This is higher than the average base salaries for jobs in similar careers, such as software engineer ($103,349), computer scientist ($102,690), and data analysts ($66,842), as well as one of the highest average base salaries in any industry.
3 Diverse career growth options - Data scientists regularly interact with the leadership at their company, working with the best of the resources. They’re working side-by-side with the true movers and shakers of the company, solving business problems and building a solid network of connections while they’re at it. As such, many data scientists go on to executive roles themselves in roles like a chief data officer.
