My 7 Sources of Income as a Data Scientist | by Egor Howell | Oct, 2024
Being a data scientist gives you many opportunities to generate multiple streams of income. In this article, I want to break down my 7 sources to hopefully give you some ideas that you can try yourself.
Nothing in here is financial advice.
My primary and most significant source of income is my full-time job as a data scientist. I have been in this career for over three years, and I love it.
I get to work on so many interesting problems, apply various algorithms, and use cutting-edge technologies like Generative AI daily.
As I have discussed in previous articles, becoming a data scientist is not easy. It takes a lot of effort and learning to break into the field, especially now.
However, that effort is rewarded very well. I can’t state my salary to respect my employer, but I earn quite a bit more than the average salary in the UK.
This is by no means to “flex,” but I am just being honest about the pay scale you can expect as a data scientist — and I am far off from being a millionaire!
