Distribution of Data Science Specialist Salaries in Brunei

So we've looked at the average salaries a Data Science Specialist will earn in Brunei. The next interesting data point is the distribution of salaries.

Salary ranges

We already know that a Data Science Specialist can earn between 23,080 BND and 72,540 BND on average in Brunei. This is known as the range in statistics.

The difference between the maximum and minimum values is a good indicator of variability in salaries, and can be used by employers to figure out how much they can expect to pay, and for employees to know how much they can earn.

Median salary

The median salary for a Data Science Specialist in Brunei is 48,140 BND. This is the middle value in the distribution of salaries.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 48,140 BND, and 50% of the population earn more than 48,140 BND.

If you are earning more than the median salary, that's a good indicator that you are being paid well.

If you're not earning more than the median salary, your objective should be to increase your earnings to be at least as high as the median salary (which you can do by asking for a pay rise, looking for a better paying job, etc).

Percentiles

Percentiles are similar to the median salary, but instead of looking at the middle value, they look at the values in the top and bottom half of the distribution.

For the average Data Science Specialist salary in Brunei, 25% of the population are earning less than 34,080 BND while 75% of the population earn more than 34,080 BND.

75% of the population earn less than 58,280 BND, and 25% of the population earn more than 58,280 BND.

Like the median salary, the 25th and 75th percentile salaries can be used to determine which quartile you fall into so that you know whether you are being paid well enough compared to others in your profession and location.

The difference between a median and an average salary

The median and average salary are both indicators you can use to see if you are being paid fairly based on the overall population.

  • If your salary is higher than the average and the median salary, you are earning well compared to others.
  • If your salary is lower than the average and the median salary, it could indicate you are not being paid well enough.
  • If you are somewhere in between then it's tricky to determine if you are being paid well enough and you might need to research more closely.
