Percentage of respondents with undergraduate degrees only has increased in recent years. That might reflect the strong demand for data scientists in organizations. (The 2022 survey results released publicly by Kaggle don't include education data.) Both prospective and experienced data scientists can also take advantage of boot camps and online courses offered by educational platforms such as Coursera, Udemy and Kaggle itself. In addition, there are various certification opportunities available through universities, technology vendors and industry groups. Retraining professionals who work in other positions or fields to become data scientists is another option for organizations. That might include database developers and software programmers, as well as traditional scientists and other experts in particular disciplines. Data scientist salaries Because the desired combination of analytics skills, personality traits and experience is still somewhat hard to find, qualified data scientists generally can command six-figure salaries, at least in the U.S. According to job posting site Indeed, the average data scientist salary in the U.S. was $144,959 as of October 2022, based on about 3,800 reported salaries. Indeed said the average pay was $122,591 for data scientists with less than a year of experience and $167,038 for those with three to five years of experience. Job search and company reviews site Glassdoor ranked data scientist No. 3 on its "50 Best Jobs in America for 2022" list, which is based on a combination of median base salary, job satisfaction levels and available openings. As of October 2022, Glassdoor's data showed median total compensation of $124,100 for U.S.-based data scientists, including base salary plus bonuses and other payments. That increased to an average of $159,957 for a lead data scientist and $162,262 for a senior data scientist. Data scientist vs. data analyst The role of data scientist is often confused with that of data analyst. But while there is overlap in many of the job responsibilities and required skills, there are also some significant differences between data scientists and data analysts. The duties of a data analyst can vary depending on the company. In general, though, they don't have the full level of technical skills
