Most roles cluster in New York City, but opportunities extend to the greater metro area and upstate hubs.

What You Need to Know
New York's analyst market is shaped by its dominant industries: finance, media, advertising, consulting, and healthcare. Wall Street alone accounts for a massive share of analyst hiring, and financial data analysts in banking, insurance, and fintech consistently earn among the highest salaries in the profession.
The media and advertising sector is another major employer. Companies like NBCUniversal, The New York Times, and dozens of ad agencies and adtech firms hire analysts to measure audience engagement, optimize ad spend, and build attribution models. If you're interested in marketing analytics, New York is arguably the best market in the country.
Consulting firms — from the Big Four to boutique analytics shops — maintain large New York offices and hire analysts at all levels. These roles offer excellent variety (you'll work across multiple industries) and strong career progression, though the hours can be demanding.
Beyond Manhattan, Brooklyn has become a growing tech hub with startups and mid-size companies offering analyst roles at slightly lower salary points but with more flexible cultures. Upstate New York (Albany, Rochester, Buffalo) has pockets of opportunity in healthcare, higher education, and state government analytics, with significantly lower living costs.
