Props to your brother but that seems like it’s seriously underutilizing his background

He’s a neuroscience PhD and is interviewing to be an analyst?? Pssssht. He needs to be looking at big data/SaaS companies. Pay is better and far more opportunities that will understand how to utilize his background.

Thanks - is there a more appropriate PhD/grad school entry level role he should apply to instead, like Informatics “associate” rather than analyst? For example, at the firm I’m at, all undergrads are hired in as analysts and all MBAs/PhDs are hired as associates - both with the same career path but different comp

Aim higher. How thorough has his job search been so far? Looks like he should find a career coach.

His program should have career services. He should take advantage of alumni connections. He should look specifically at something geared at his background/skill set not because there's any shame in being an analyst with a PhD, but because he doesn't want to be in a position where they don't know how to use him and he's bored and frustrated and it shows in his performance.
