Lol! So I'm in a smaller market (neither coast)... 6 Years as Business Analyst currently at 98K / 110K with bonus. This is why I'm looking for remote work options.
When I was an analyst in the Midwest, my salary ranged from 60k a decade ago (no experience or analyst-specific education, stretch role) up to 96k plus 22% profit sharing and 10% bonus (8 yrs experience, probably smack in the middle of the range). In my area, that meant I could afford a 3k square ft house across from a lake, a mid sized SUV, decent wine, good beer, and regular date nights at Chile's.
Skillset mainly included figuring out how to yank data out of a rats nest of ERPs and bolt ons, toss it into Excel, Access, or SPSS, do maths, write VBA to automate processes, and update dashboards. Right before I moved into marketing and then management, Tableau and Power BI were just starting to come into play- those would have automated about 60% of my job.

Thank you for response. Curious about your Year of experience? company location ?
New Analyst (~1 year) 26.50/per hour about 60K per year with OT contractor at a private security company embedded as an intelligence analyst at a tactical security team at Amazon.
Cincinnati, 3yrs, Fifth Third Bank, 7 YoE in banking, 125 base 25 bonus
65k as an analyst with 3 years analyst experience. Is this average?
Seems low. That's where I started 7 years ago. I don't work in a major metropolitan area.
OT work? So you’re earning an hourly wage?
Some companies pay you OT even if you’re salaried. My last company had regular periods where work would ramp up for weeks at a time so they paid you a 80% of your hourly equivalent (40hrs a week being your base salary hours) for each extra hour worked. It was like a bonus for people who burnt themselves out lol
