Gross fixed salary per year for a junior Data Analyst (0 to 2 years of experience, including recent graduates and bootcamp leavers) at a German SMB or Mittelstand company. Berlin, Munich and Hamburg in the SaaS and scale-up scene pull the range upward (44 to 52 k€); classic Mittelstand and regional locations trend downward (35 to 40 k€). A data-focused internship, a working-student stint or a visible portfolio (SQL projects, a bootcamp capstone) pulls up; no hands-on SQL practice at all pulls down. Variable compensation is atypical in this role.
