Melissa Connors looks at the 2018 Data Professionals Salary Survey:
This report is filtered to the United States, Private sector, full-time employees, Job Titles with more than 50 results, all primary databases, a salary between $15,000 and $200,000, and a survey year of 2018.
On the top are employees who said they work remotely 0 days per week, the middle is office employees who telecommute 1-4 days per week, and the bottom is the true remote employee who does this 5+ days per week.
The overall median salaries were $97,316 for office employees, $111,500 for part time telecommuters, and $114,163 for full time remote employees, which led to the click-bait title of this post. 🙂 It’s possible that this is because only more senior or highly-valued employees feel comfortable working from home, or are even allowed to, depending on the company culture.
