Goals of the Data Salary Survey
Data Salary Survey 2025 is owned by BI Consulting. Their goal was to conduct a specialized survey focused specifically on data-related positions, offering more detailed insights than the general salary reports currently available on the market.

The research analyzes typical salary ranges across three major areas:
- BI, Data Visualization, and Reporting
- Data Warehousing and Data Engineering
- Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI
Structure of the Questionnaire
The survey consists of four main sections:
- Professional Background (field of expertise, current position, years of experience)
- Compensation (salary or other income types such as freelance daily rates or internship hourly rates)
- Workplace Characteristics
- Basic Demographics
When designing the questionnaire, they focused on keeping it concise and easy to complete.
Data Collection
The anonymous survey was open to anyone working in a data-related role.
Data collection took place in two major phases:
- The first phase ran during October–November 2024
- The second phase lasted until January 31, 2025
The company reached 240 data professionals through their mailing list, Linkedin network and conference participants.
