3) Have I mentioned Excel?

Generally in my firm, fresh graduates from STEM backgrounds in analyst roles have a 4K pay range.

But if you’re asking for a PoliSci or FASS student who can only write fancy essays, then no.... Their job nature does not warrant a 4K average salary.
No self-respecting stats inclined person will use excel for k means clustering.
Think you better stick to polsci and fass hires for your 4k hires

If you put a better salary of 8k, you can hire some decent com sci grads to migrate away from excel.

Generally business should have their data in sql then extract for analysis. (R, pthyon, sciki)
Key is automation. You do not want to waste time to fix !REF
Using excel is really what polsci and fass grads do.
