Here's how much money you make in the 'sexiest job of the 21st century'

In 2012, Harvard Business Review named data
scientist the " sexiest job of the 21st century." More
recently, Glassdoor named it the "best job of the
year" for 2016.
"It isn't a big surprise," Dr. Andrew Chamberlain,
Glassdoor's chief economist, told
Business Insider.
"It's one of the hottest and fastest growing jobs we're
seeing right now."
According to Glassdoor, data scientists earn a base
pay of $116,840 (£83,354) a year, on average.
Here's how much they rake in, on average, at some of
the hottest tech companies, according to Glassdoor
employee salary reviews:
Facebook: $133,841 (£95,482)
Apple: $149,963 (£106,983)
Airbnb: $117,229 (£83,631)
Twitter: $134,861 (£96,210)
Microsoft: $119,129 (£84,987)
LinkedIn: $138,798 (£99,018)
IBM: $110,823 (£79,061)
According to IBM's website:
A data scientist represents an evolution from the
business or data analyst role. The formal training is
similar, with a solid foundation typically in computer
science and applications, modeling, statistics,
analytics and math. What sets the data scientist apart
is strong business acumen, coupled with the ability to
communicate findings to both business and IT
leaders in a way that can influence how an
organization approaches a business challenge. Good
data scientists will not just address business
problems, they will pick the right problems that have
the most value to the organization.
The data scientist role has been described as 'part
analyst, part artist.' Anjul Bhambhri, vice president of
big data products at IBM, says, 'A data scientist is
somebody who is inquisitive, who can stare at data
and spot trends. It's almost like a Renaissance
individual who really wants to learn and bring change
to an organization.'
Glassdoor economist Chamberlain says: "Since all
companies have an online presence these days, they
all need people who know how to manage and store
data that helps them make better business decisions,
compared to years ago when businesses didn't have
data management at their fingertips to review and
analyze to help them drive business forward. That's
why I expect this to continue to be a hot job for
several years to come."
