Svantaggi
This is a decent job if you want to stay for 1-2 years to boost your resume but as others have said, the career growth is muddy. Right now the current path is Data Analyst -> Senior Data Analyst -> Technical Associate. The base pay for a regular Data Analyst is $45k and the promotion to Senior Data Analyst only gets you a $5k raise. Even the work a beginner data analyst does warrants at least a $60k salary since they are basically client/project managers. Not sure how much technical associates make but given their expertise they're probably also being underpaid. There is also no overtime pay at all. Larger projects can require coordination of up to 20 people and it's such insanity that senior data analysts are only making $50k when handling such large portfolios. Developers only make about $60k a year as well and these salaries are just not at all competitive in the current job market.
