1. Data Architect

The Robert Half reports give typical salary ranges in the United States for various job titles. According to the technology report, a data architect in the 25th percentile is likely to earn $110,000. The median salary for the job title is $130,000, and someone in the 95th percentile would earn $184,000.

It makes sense that this is the highest-paying job title in the analytics field because it requires a very high degree of expertise. Data architects are responsible for designing, deploying and maintaining an enterprise's overall data architecture. That means these professionals need to have a broad understanding of the business's need for analytics as well as knowing how the technology works and how analysts use their big data tools on a daily basis. In general, they have many years of experience in data analytics before reaching this level of their careers.
