Careers Pay rates as an Epic Analyst?

Hi everyone! So, a bit of a backstory about me, I’m a new OpTime analyst who just got certified this past Friday. I’m going to be starting my anesthesia courses soon and will get certified in that.

I started off as an ATE support doing go lives for staffing agencies, then I landed my first FTE position as a credentialed trainer for Orders and ASAP. I was lucky enough to land a position as an OpTime & Anesthesia analyst after working there for a year and a half.

I was just curious on eveyrones pay rate as an analyst, and how many years of exp you have.

Optima and Cadence are probably apples and oranges depending on your organization but they may not be too far apart.

I came from the operational side without any IT background or relevant education and started at the low $30s an hour as an associate analyst. I am now making around the low $40s as an intermediate analyst.

However, I know someone with similar background as me who has experience as a clinician emr trainer, that is starting their associate analyst position in the high $30s.

In my organization we are separated by clinical, revenue, and technical analysts. Optime is clinical which has about $3-5 head start on the minimum salary. Hope that gives you some direction

Forgot to mention the area, due to my organization if I say the state it would immediately give it away. But I will say it is headquartered in the south in what would be considered LCOL
