U.K. technology recruitment firm Harnham cited growing demand for data science specialists as the reason behind major wage increases as companies increasingly try to lure those in-demand professionals to change jobs.

Entry-level data scientists can earn £45,000 (US$57,000) a year in London and £34,000 (US$43,100) in other U.K. cities, while senior director-level data scientists can expect to earn an average annual salary of £140,000 (US$177,200) in London.

Given the increasing demand, data science specialists tend to stay in one job for less than three years, says Harnham, which also named Python the top programming language for data scientists, while R falls "firmly into second place."
