Do AI skills change senior research analyst pay?

For Investment roles in general, as of November 9, 2026. This is the function’s figure, not one for senior research analyst alone: one title rarely has enough listings on both sides.

Among Investment listings, those that ask for an AI skill advertise a median $174,000, against $135,000 for those that never mention AI (+29.1%). That raw gap is not matched on level or industry.

Advertised pay only: the midpoint of the range an employer posted, on live U.S. postings read from the full text. “Asks for an AI skill” means the posting names a specific AI skill; “no AI” means it never mentions AI. A difference in what is advertised is not a promise of what you would be paid, and it does not show that learning a skill causes a raise.
