Known as &#8216;<strong>optional practical training<\/strong>&#8216;, the three-year waiver is now being applied more widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salary figures for <strong>H1B visa holders<\/strong> indicate that recently graduated data science and analytics students who work for <strong>U.S. banks<\/strong> can expect to earn anything from <strong>$85k to $190k<\/strong>, depending upon their role and where they&#8217;re based. As we&#8217;ve noted previously, some of the <strong>highest salaries<\/strong> for technologists in finance are on offer at JPMorgan in California. Salaries are a great deal lower for entry-level quants at <strong>Wells Fargo<\/strong> in Charlotte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Pay for entry level data science and technology jobs in finance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bank<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Job Title<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Salary<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>JPMorgan<\/td><td>Software engineering analyst<\/td><td>$190k<\/td><td>Redwood California<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>JPMorgan<\/td><td>AI research senior associate<\/td><td>$169k<\/td><td>New York<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>JPMorgan<\/td><td>AI research senior associate<\/td><td>$140k<\/td><td>New York<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>JPMorgan<\/td><td>AI developer<\/td><td>$130k<\/td><td>New York<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bank of America<\/td><td>AVP software engineer I<\/td><td>$123k<\/td><td>New York<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bank of America<\/td><td>AVP data scientist II<\/td><td>$118k<\/td><td>Charlotte<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>JPMorgan<\/td><td>Associate software engineer<\/td><td>$115k<\/td><td>Jersey City<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bank of America<\/td><td>AVP quant finance analyst<\/td><td>$105k<\/td><td>Charlotte<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>JPMorgan<\/td><td>Quant research analyst<\/td><td>$95k<\/td><td>New York<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Citi<\/td><td>Quant analyst<\/td><td>$95k<\/td><td>New York<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wells Fargo<\/td><td>Quant analyst<\/td><td>$85k<\/td><td>Charlotte<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Citi<\/td><td>Business analytics intermediate analyst<\/td><td>$81k<\/td><td>New York<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As<strong> 2.5 quintillion bytes <\/strong>of data are being created each day, each business requires a certified and skilled professional to organize and maintain the information as well as analyze it to offer robust <strong>business solutions<\/strong>.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced that by <strong>2026<\/strong>, the demand for talented and educated data scientists will help lead to a <strong>27.9% <\/strong>rise in employment. However, this enormous demand has also brought forward a significant shortage of <strong>qualified professionals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also now, <strong>educational institutions<\/strong> have approached to mitigate the shortage by revamping existing <strong>data science programs <\/strong>or creating new ones, with an industry-linked curriculum.
