So, without wasting any time, let&#8217;s explore the salary of a data scientist.<\/p>\n<h3>What does Data Scientist do?<\/h3>\n<p>A data scientist mines complex data and deliver systems-related advice to his\/her organization. In a team, they manage statistical data and look at what their company needs to create different models. A data scientist knows how to interpret data and extract meaning from it.<\/p>\n<p>Since data is rarely ever clean, s\/he spends time collecting, cleaning, and munging it. S\/he needs skills like statistics, machine learning, software engineering skills, persistence, and being human. That person also spends time in exploratory data analysis- in visualization and data sense.<\/p>\n<p>S\/he will find patterns, build algorithms and models, design experiments, communicate with team members, and perform data-driven decision making.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>People who are searching for a data scientist job often check the major <a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/data-scientist-vs-data-engineer-vs-data-analyst\/\">difference between a data scientist, data engineer, and data analyst<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Data Science Job Trends in India<\/h3>\n<p>Following are the trends in Data Science job postings per 1 million postings on Indeed &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/data-science-job-postings-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-66466\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/data-science-job-postings-1.png\" alt=\"data science job postings\" width=\"1008\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/data-science-job-postings-1.png 1008w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/data-science-job-postings-1-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/data-science-job-postings-1-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/data-science-job-postings-1-768x387.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/data-science-job-postings-1-520x262.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the above chart, we can infer that Data Science jobs have been growing in trending charts.
