An associate analyst position is typically considered entry-level. These roles generally require a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, such as finance, economics, or data analysis. While some positions may prefer candidates with prior internships or some experience, many associate analyst roles are designed for recent graduates or those new to the industry. According to Glassdoor data, salaries for entry-level associate analysts can range widely based on the industry and location, but they generally reflect the starting point of a career in analysis.
