Okay, let’s tackle this. So Janis has 8 years of experience as a data analyst, which is a solid amount of time to develop skills in SQL, Tableau, and Python. Her Master’s degree in Data Science from NYU adds value. However, the data analyst role is more common and less prestigious than data scientist. Location is New York, which is a hub for finance and healthcare. According to Glassdoor, data analysts in NYC can earn $110–$140 per hour. Considering her experience and skills, I estimate her rate to be around $120 per hour, which is slightly below the average but still competitive.
