The step from middle to lead is worth about 1.4x on median pay.

Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary."},{"title":"Where the work is","text":"The largest concentrations of these roles are United States (2). 45% offer a hybrid arrangement, while the rest expect you on site."},{"title":"Who is hiring","text":"The employers with the most open Data Scientist Salary in Palo Alto right now are SAP (15), Amazon (6), Stanford Health Care (5), xAI (4), Quince (4), and Wing (3).

The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list."},{"title":"Relocation, visas and equity","text":"Of the current Data Scientist Salary in Palo Alto, 2 state visa sponsorship, 5 offer a relocation package, and 15 include equity.
