Role mapping
Data science is mapped to the broader ICT-profession group. Compensation can differ substantially between analytics, machine learning, research and data-platform roles, so use the range as a market anchor rather than a job-offer prediction.
Regional scope
Geneva is represented by the FSO Lake Geneva gross region, which also covers Vaud and Valais. Treat the result as a regional benchmark rather than a Geneva-city-only estimate.
How to use the result
Compare like with like: annual gross base salary, workload, experience and responsibility. Bonus, equity, shift supplements, pension terms and taxes can change total compensation. Treat the percentile as an orientation point for a conversation, not as an exact valuation of an individual offer.
