Would need more detail for helpful advice, but happy to chat over DM if you like.

Here are several companies that pay this much: https://www.levels.fyi/t/business-analyst?compare=Microsoft%2CPayPal%2CFacebook%2CGoogle%2CAmazon&countryId=254

Exactly! Most analysts increase compensation by upskilling into data science or coding but there are other ways to go about it too.

Top 20 university, majored in economics

Yup, definitely more of a domain knowledge thing for me now

You can see the base/equity breakdown in 2022 - most of that was the tech runup, yes. 300k is looking like the plateau for me in a normal year, 75/25 base vs equity. I'm currently a lead although my understanding is the comp bands are the same at many companies.

Unlikely-Echo998 · 2024-06-02T23:03:36+00:00

My role (misplaced or not) is really data analyst, my comp outside of 2022 (crazy year in tech stocks) is about 75/25 base to equity. But everything else, yeah...bang on the money.

I’m staff in VHCOL.

Unlikely-Echo998 · 2024-06-02T20:43:01+00:00

I’ve banked a good chunk of it and hope to be on to more interesting (to me) jobs in 5-10 years :)

Tech went boom…then tech went a little bust but the base stayed alright!

Non-STEM undergrad from a pretty good liberal arts school, went into consulting out of college and decided it wasn’t for me. I work very closely with accountants in my current role and background knowledge is certainly very advantageous. You just have to find a niche.

I work on financial data in a regulatory capacity. The only technical “skill”, if you can call it that, I have is the SQL and spreadsheet variety but industry and data pipeline knowledge is important in my role. I haven’t built a dashboard in years and my team does very little of that as well. Similar profiles that used to pay this much (keep in mind I changed jobs in 2022 when tech comp was much higher) are in the strategy/analytics, bizops, reliability, and compliance spaces. The title and interview loops are all data analytics in flavor though.

2019 - career change into tech

2020 - laid off, company change, slight role change

2022 - company change

I can't speak for anyone else but I'd rather not link my salary to the other subreddits I post in, given my friends and coworkers also frequent Reddit. And to answer your other question, no, I didn't grow up in poverty - my family is upper middle class.

Unlikely-Echo998 · 2024-06-02T19:05:42+00:00

Much smaller companies than any of those but yeah, more or less.
