A PLURALITY OF RESPONDENTS (20%) WORKED IN
CONSULTING, after which the top industries were software
(18%), banking/finance (10%), and retail/ecommerce (9%).
These figures are very similar to those of the worldwide
sample.
As with company size, the differences in salaries among industries
was largely attributable to geography. Manufacturing,
insurance, and publishing/media were all overrepresented by
countries with higher salaries. One exception to this was banking/
finance, which had a high median salary of €58K and did
not correlate with a particular country or region: data professionals
in banking do appear to earn more.
