If you don't mind me asking, how much does that pay? I interned at a market research firm this past summer and starting for entry level analysts was around 50k.

foreign service officer recently posted to Paris, France

Assistant Merchandiser working for a large fashion retailer.

Well it's been over two years since I left the old gig, so here is my new J-O-B: Policy Analyst monitoring the impact of trade policy of foreign governments on U.S. exporters.

This thread is really boring. It, honestly, is lacking in the usual "250k backup job" department that typically defines SF.

I'm a corporate attorney (in-house) for a middle-market investment bank.

Civil engineer. I design targets, and find the leftover weapons.

I make charts and tables.

Every couple of months I might put one of the above onto a powerpoint slide.

I make the most beautiful Big Macs and Quarter Pounders since Ray.

I'm currently a law student, but I aspire to one day become a life coach, feng shui consultant, and spiritial leader

My education background is in economics and urban planning but I'm basically a market research analyst as well. I work in the public sector though so the pay scales and work responsibilities differ vastly from what you would see in the private sector. But, $50k for entry level market research analysts sounds a little bit high IMO except for a few specific industries or a few particular geographies. I would expect something closer to the mid-$40s is a bit more the norm in this field.

To AntiHero - Do you work in the private sector and focus on any particular industries? I'm always looking at information or for ideas on how to make the leap into the commercial real estate world and I'm particularly interested in site location type work.

I'm a mechanical engineer in the green industry

I once worked at TNS, and I would've had to ******* way to $50K/yr.

I don't really want to come out and say what I make, but I will say that's about the median for entry-level. Like most positions, it will depend on location and experience. http://swz.salary.com/SalaryWizard/M...y-Details.aspx

I'm a political hack. I get paid (poorly) to advance the careers of others.
