Salaries of data specialists have increased by 40% over three years

Kolesa Group conducted the third study of the Kazakhstani data professions market.

According to forecasts from the U.S. Department of Labor, the Data Science field is expected to see a 28% increase in job vacancies by 2026. In Kazakhstan, the number of data analysts is also showing growth. At Kolesa Group, we decided to explore what the data sector looks like in Kazakhstan today. Experts in this field are playing an increasingly important role in this process.

For the survey, we used our internal database of data specialists, as well as responses from respondents in professional communities and social networks.

Key findings of the study:

1. Over the past three years, average salaries have increased by approximately 40%.

2. The number of analysts working in FinTech companies has grown by 17%.

3. Remote work has become more valued by respondents than corporate culture.

The study also includes interesting information about specializations, work formats, and types of companies where data specialists are employed. The full study is available at this link.
