How this is calculated: we take every currently open Data Scientist posting on the board whose title matches the role and that publishes a salary range in US dollars, use the midpoint of each range, and report the median and percentiles. Postings without pay, or with pay in another currency, are excluded — nothing is estimated. Refreshed with every daily job update.
