Once you factor in stock and cash bonuses, this rises to an average of $155,000. It\u2019s also worth pointing out that, like many other modern, successful technology companies, Facebook sweetens the deal with numerous perks. Facebook treats their employees to free snacks, and they offer generous health insurance plans, along with competitive maternity and paternity leave.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-this-compare-to-other-salaries-at-facebook\"><strong>How Does This Compare to Other Salaries at Facebook?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/photo-1559523182-a284c3fb7cff.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3986\"\/><figcaption> Facebook remains a popular destination for skilled programmers.&nbsp;<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The salary for a data scientist at Facebook compares favorably to salaries earned in similar roles throughout the company. A <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/software-engineering-salary-facebook\/\">Facebook Software engineer<\/a> is $147,725 annually, $143,164 for production engineers, and research scientists make $146,324.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-this-compare-to-the-average-data-science-salary\"><strong>How Does This Compare to the Average Data Science Salary?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/carlos-muza-84523-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2741\"\/><figcaption>Data science deserves its reputation as a well-paying field.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook data scientists also do well compared <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/entry-level-data-scientist-salary\/\">to the field as a whole<\/a>. Based on Glassdoor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/data-scientist-salary-SRCH_KO0,14.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">figures<\/a>, the average data scientist makes $117,345 annually, nearly $30,000 less than Facebook\u2019s data scientists make on average. Even senior data scientists only make $137,000, on average.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s clear that landing a coveted data science role at Facebook (or any other large tech firm) is going to beef up your checking account. Add to this the fact that you get to work on interesting problems and technology used by nearly everyone, and it\u2019s no wonder that the competition is so stiff.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the first step toward such a role could be as simple as browsing <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\">Career Karma<\/a> for information on coding bootcamps, programming languages, technical interview questions, and much more!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For all the controversy that has surrounded the popular social networking platform in recent years, Facebook remains a highly visible company that draws significant technological talent.
