What our data shows for Financial and Investment Analysts

RoleHue publishes 1,051 salary records for Financial and Investment Analysts, across 17 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $124,451 at the 25th percentile to $195,397 at the 75th, a spread of $70,946 around $162,104. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $162,104 figure rather than in dollars (44% of it), that spread is wider than 77% of the roles we cover.

Menlo Park, CA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $178,227; Seattle, WA the lowest at $104,687, a gap of $73,541. The middle half of those city medians, weighted by how many records each city contributes, spans $22,931, narrower than the $70,946 band within cities: for Financial and Investment Analysts, where a record sits within its own metro separates our numbers more than which metro it came from.

Most of the evidence on this page sits in New York, NY, with 654 of the 1,051 records we publish for this role (62%), so the weighted figures above lean on a single metro more than on the country. Evidence clears 25 records in 7 of the 17 cities; for the rest, the city median we show rests on fewer records than that.
