![Salary Survey]()
Are You Earning What Others Earn? We wanted to know what tools successful data
scientists and analysts use, and how much money they make. To find out, we
surveyed hundreds of attendees at the O'Reilly Strata Conferences in Santa
Clara and New York. And the results were pretty interesting. Roger Magoulas
and John King authored a free report, 2013 Data Science Salary Survey: Tools,
Compensation, Trends, based on these findings.
Want to know what skills pay the best—and if you're making as much as you should?
Download the report and see. You can also help make this an annual survey—contribute
