Senior data scientists with more than 5 years of experience earn an average salary of $144,000, and Data Scientist Directors earn approximately $200,000. These averages will vary based on location.

Question 2

What are the most in-demand programming languages?

Accepted Answer

Python is the most common language used in Data Science for its flexibility and broad applicability (Data Analysis, Machine Learning, Data Processing, even Web Development and system scripting). Python is followed by R, which is more popular in some finance positions or heavy-duty data applications. We also have Julia and D which are more niche/academic languages. C++ is far less common in Data Science, but it's used to train heavy-performance Machine Learning models.
