Data Scientist Salary in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Work life balance is awesome in here, until you'll reach Managerial positions. You'll get good salary as per your work, it's more Iike if you know such thing you'll do only those things. So on that basis you'll get good salary. Not much of a skill development through Project but if you're willing to upskill you have lot of learning materials as well as professional certifications too. Company regular organize fun events, it's just you need to take part in it else you'll be filled with work only.

Dislikes

Promotion are terrible and on top of that the percentage hike was awful as they can't even beat inflation. Start your career from here is good but staying here for long period of time you'll miss good learnings, you won't be able to upskill so much(until you wanted to externally). Learn good things from startups and if you're carving for stability join CTS after 12-15 YOE.

Salary is decent compared to industry average. Also, You don’t need to worry about the job security unless you are really bad. Work life balance depends on which line of business and what team are you working.

Dislikes

Promotions are too slow compared to your peers in US or UK. A person will stay as an Analyst or Associate for years and your peer will become a Vice President or even an Executive Director within the same timelines. Your promotions are hardly based on your performance and mostly based on how much good relationship you have with your manager and how much the management has endorsed you as a brand.
