A Data Analyst with a master’s degree in Data Analytics, completed in October 2024, earns a base salary of $65,000 in a medium cost of living (MCOL) city. This individual has 1.5 years of experience in the role, following a stint as a Clinical Data Manager and previous work in tax research and HR. Their total compensation, including bonuses and other benefits, reaches $85,000. Despite this, the analyst frequently interviews for Data Scientist positions offering base salaries well over $100,000. This raises questions about whether their current salary is competitive within the industry. The statistics highlight a significant salary gap between Data Analysts and Data Scientists, suggesting potential underpayment or underemployment in the current role.
