I'm not sure why you got downvoted to hell, you seem to have just answered the question. That does seem a bit high for data science positions, which IMO are relatively underpaid compared to data engineers or engineers. But also, IMO, most data science programmes produce vastly under-qualified data scientists, so maybe it's proportional / fair. I don't know.
