The expected salary and offered salary for data scientists is one of those special cases.
Companies offer an average of 60.8k, and talents expectations for a starting salary are 60k.

(c’mon note that we dont have enough data points to accurately examine salaries in 2020).

On average, companies offer men a starting salary of 62k, while they offer women only 55k.
