Analyst jobs report: October 2026

Where Analyst openings are, and how much is remote

The tracked companies have 180 open Analyst jobs. With 51 companies hiring, your search does not have to depend on a single employer.

Only 14% of these jobs are marked remote. If remote work is a requirement, check that detail before spending time tailoring an application. For other listings, read the location and attendance requirements rather than assuming they are fully on-site or hybrid.

The skills employers ask for most

SQL and data analysis lead the skill requests, each appearing in 32% of jobs. Excel follows at 29%. If you have these skills, name them clearly and include work examples that show how you used them.

The other requests span operations, finance, compliance, and technical work. Match your resume to the specific posting rather than treating every Analyst role as the same job.

• SQL: 32%; data analysis: 32%; Excel: 29%. Show the queries, analyses, or spreadsheets you built and what they helped someone decide.
• Operations management: 20%; Python: 20%. Describe the processes you managed or the analysis and scripts you wrote, where relevant.
• Compliance: 17%; data visualization: 17%. Include examples of compliance work or reports and charts you created.
• Accounting: 16%; audit: 15%. Make relevant accounting work and audit responsibilities easy to find.
• Consulting: 14%; LLMs: 14%; cybersecurity: 13%. Include these when you have relevant experience and the posting asks for it.

What listed Analyst pay looks like

Among Analyst jobs at the companies JobJot tracks, 21% list pay, covering 37 jobs. For those pay-listed jobs, the median midpoint of the listed salary range is $162,000. The middle half of those midpoints runs from $103,000 to $265,000.

These figures describe range midpoints, not offers or actual earnings, and apply only to jobs that list pay at the tracked companies. Use the individual posting's range to assess a role rather than treating the median as the expected salary for every Analyst opening.

Steps for an Analyst applying this October

Start with the role's requirements, then make your relevant experience easy to spot. The most common skills are useful priorities, not a reason to add tools you have not used.

• Check location and remote status first. If you need remote work, confirm that the posting explicitly allows it.
• Put SQL, data analysis, and Excel in your skills section when accurate. Add a work bullet showing how you used each relevant skill.
• Tailor the rest of your resume to the role's focus, such as operations management, compliance, accounting, audit, or cybersecurity.
• Compare relevant openings at the employers listed above. Apply to the roles that match your experience rather than sending the same resume to every Analyst posting.
• Review any listed salary range before applying. If pay is not listed, ask the recruiter for the range early in the process.
