    It’s not correct. Senior SWE is new grad, data scientist is also new grad. But senior DS at visa is like a DS2 position at other companies. Base will be around 150k, with 10% bonus and 10k rsu.

      You are clueless.
      Starting with who can be a new grad. A new grad could be of three levels/titles - no prefix (Undergrad), Senior (Masters), or Staff (PhD).

      How do you know DS levels as SWE? I’m in the DS team and what you are talking about is the level for SWE. Data scientist is the entry level role for MS, and similar pay as senior SWE at Visa. Senior DS is equivalent to staff SWE. Ask your DS friends.

    I hope you know that ‘senior’ is not actually senior at Visa. It’s level i5 which is given to new college grads who have a CS masters degree. Or to experienced folk that have a few years of experience. As an NCG i5 level, you might start at around 120 base, 10% bonus target and 0/15% RSU refresher at review time. If you are experienced i5, your base element could be higher.

      Hi thanks for ur reply. What is NCG? And does a senior software engineer at Visa earn similar to a senior data scientist. I though data scientist positions are differently ranked.
      Is it safe to consider a TC of 160k for a Senior Data Scientist or is it lesser or more than that?

      NCG - New College Grad.
      Although I doubt it, you may be right about the data science ladder being different. I hope someone else from Visa can chime in to clarify? For a reference, the Product ladder in Visa is different where Senior roughly equals Staff of engineering.

    Data science org follows a different structure and senior data scientist is similar to staff in software roles. Base around 150k, bonus- 12% target (usually high performers get 15-20%). 15% of base as RSU.
