Given the potential return for companies employing Data Teams, why is it that Data Scientists, Analysts, Engineers and CDOs are not sticking around beyond these relatively short periods of time, given that 4.1 years is the current median tenure?
Within Modern Business, data skills are in high demand. In fact, 365 Data Science found that employment rates of Data Scientists are expected to grow by 36% from 2021 to 2031, over and above the average 5%. Given the level of demand for such professional skills could it be that salary expectations are high, and individuals move from post to post for an increased annual income?
Could frustrations within the role, stemming from lack of access to good quality data, lack of buy-in across the wider senior team or a mismatch of values between the business and the individual be more likely causes?
In reality, it is likely that a range of the above factors contribute to the shortened average stay of data professionals across industries. But with an ever-increasing demand for Data Professionals, for organisations to benefit from investment in data teams and to extract the commercial advantages available within their data, something needs to change!
