Career Outlook

10% growthFaster than average (BLS 2024–2034)

10% growth. Someone has to bridge the gap between "the business wants X" and "IT can build Y." That's the systems analyst. Demand is especially strong at companies mid-way through digital transformations, trying to modernize legacy systems without breaking everything.

Worth knowing: If you understand both old-school COBOL/mainframe systems and modern cloud architecture, you're basically un-fireable at large banks and insurance companies. That specific combination is rare and very well-paid.
