A policy analyst is responsible for looking into current organizational policies and procedures to determine if and how they can be updated. The job of a policy analyst is demanding, so you should negotiate a good salary package. Here are a few ways through which you can get a high-paying policy analyst job:

1. Research policy analyst salaries, taking into account the organization and location in which you work. A policy analyst job for an international company or one that requires foreign travel will attract higher pay than jobs for smaller local organizations.
2. Factor in your job experience into your salary package counteroffer. The compensation you receive should account for the wealth of experience you've acquired throughout your policy analyst career path.
3. Consider the skills you possess outside of those acquired through education. Organizations are willing to pay higher salaries to policy analysts who exhibit outstanding critical thinking, analytical, and legal knowledge skills.

A good benefits package can make a policy analyst job more attractive. These are some of the benefits and perks you should be on the lookout for in a policy analyst position:

• Comprehensive health insurance
• Spending account
• Travel allowance
• Expatriate allowance
• Pension
• Paid vacation
• Education leave
• Retirement benefits
