SG-based data scientists earn more than their SEA peers

The base salary range for data scientists ranges from US$3,600 -US$8,400 monthly.

Data scientists in Singapore earn more than those in Indonesia and Vietnam, according to data from the “Southeast Asia Startup Talent Trends Report 2024” report of Glints and Monk’s Hill Ventures (MHV).

The base salary range for senior data scientists in Singapore is US$6,600-US$8,400 monthly. Those in the junior and mid-level, meanwhile, have a base monthly salary ranging from US$3,600-US$4,900 and US$4,600-US$5,900, respectively.

In SEA, Glints and MHV said demand for skilled data scientists will continue to grow due to the “rapid growth of the digital economy, the increasing adoption of data-driven decision-making, and the emergence of new technologies like AI and machine learning.”

“In Singapore, we also expect demand to remain stable with government initiatives like Smart Nation,” the report said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
