The job title of analyst can mean a lot of things depending on the company and city; as positions go

The job title of analyst can mean a lot of things depending on the company and city; as positions go, it’s among the most vague. That said, it has also become remarkably common among recent college graduates.  If I had a nickel for every time I asked someone what s/he did and the response was, “Oh, I’m an analyst,” I’d have a few bucks. So what does an analyst make these days?  I’ve graphed the average analyst (and senior analyst) salaries in 16 major US cities, as well as the national average. I also adjusted the salaries for cost of living in the graph on the right. For New York, where C2ER separates cost of living for Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, I used a population-weighted average. Note that, while analysts tend to make slightly more in NY and SF, after adjusting for cost of living, these are actually two of the least affordable cities to live in on an analyst’s salary.
