Data analyst jobs FAQs

Data analyst salaries differ depending on the specific role, as well as the location and the experience of the individual. In London, a data analyst can expect to earn £36,000-£80,000 per year, a performance analyst £40,000-£70,000, and a data architect in the region of £85,000 to £120,000. 

Data analysts are often required to have a degree in maths, statistics, or some form of computing.  

However, due to the notable shortage of skilled data analysts, many organisations are now prioritising proven experience over qualifications. Moreover, some are placing greater emphasis on potential. This means there are learning and development opportunities for those with an analytical mindset and an understanding of data analytics.
