What FY2025 filing data shows
Our analysis of the DOL OFLC disclosure files found 554 certified H-1B LCAs in the product-analyst title family across 296 employers in FY2025. The median offered wage was $109,000. The largest grouped counts were Meta (29), Google (28) and Federal Express (23).
Method: cases are de-duplicated by case number and restricted to certified H-1B LCAs. Title families match configured word sequences in order within the filed job title, so intervening words can appear. Wages use WAGE_RATE_OF_PAY_FROM, are annualized by pay unit, exclude annualized values below $20,000 and are rounded to the nearest $500. Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft and Apple are rolled up to their parent; other legal entities remain separate. This narrow family does not assume that every growth analyst or decision scientist is a product analyst. An LCA is not a petition approval, hire, open job or promise to sponsor. Data downloaded 6 November 2026; current openings are on the product analyst sponsor page.
Product analyst is a small, inconsistent title market
Some companies call the role product analyst. Others use product data analyst, growth analyst, digital analyst, customer insights analyst or decision scientist. The common work is measurement: funnels, activation, retention, experimentation and the behavior behind a product decision.
Searching only one exact title hides suitable openings. Searching analyst without a product vocabulary creates too much noise. Combine an adjacent title with one of experimentation, A/B testing, funnel, retention, product metrics, Amplitude or Mixpanel.
Use the US product analyst jobs page to see the live title mix, then compare employers with the product analyst H-1B sponsor ranking.
Look for the posting's answer
Before reading the benefits, search the job description for sponsor, visa, authorization, immigration and future. Clear language outranks assumptions about the company.
A posting that says no current or future sponsorship is a stop sign for someone who will need it. A posting that says sponsorship may be available is a useful signal, not a guarantee. A silent posting requires a second step: inspect the employer's record and ask the recruiter.
The distinction exists because H-1B activity is role-specific. The employer first obtains a Labor Condition Application and then files its petition. The Department of Labor's LCA description explains that the filing identifies the position, wage and location. An employer that once filed for software engineers has experience with the process, but that does not establish a product analytics policy.
Use history at the right level
Check three questions:
- Has the legal employer filed H-1B petitions?
- Do DOL records contain product analyst or closely related analytics titles?
- Does the employer have a relevant opening now, and what does that opening say?
The product analyst H-1B sponsor page joins employer history to current roles. Keep the caveat visible: a record is evidence of past sponsorship, not a promise about the vacancy.
Prove product work, not dashboard production
Product teams hire analysts to change a decision. A sponsorship-aware search still succeeds or fails on role fit. Your strongest case study should connect a behavioral question to a metric definition, analysis and recommendation.
A compact portfolio story can say:
- Question: why do new users fail to reach their first successful outcome?
- Method: defined activation, built the event funnel in SQL and checked instrumentation gaps.
- Finding: one mobile step accounted for most of the loss.
- Decision: proposed a smaller first-run flow and an experiment with a guardrail metric.
Show statistical judgment without pretending every analysis was causal. Name the event grain, time window and trade-off. That reads like product analytics rather than a generic dashboard project.
Ask early and precisely
If you are on OPT, say what you have now and what you may need later:
I am authorized to work in the US through [month/year] under [OPT or STEM OPT]. Would this product analyst position consider a candidate who will require H-1B sponsorship after that date?
For STEM OPT, the USCIS STEM OPT guidance says the employer must be in E-Verify and the work must meet the program conditions. E-Verify participation does not answer the future H-1B question. Use the recruiter sponsorship scripts when the posting is silent.
Prioritise rather than mass-apply
Rank roles into four groups: posting says yes; posting is silent and employer has relevant history; posting is silent and history is unclear; posting says no. Spend most of your time on the first two. A referral can improve visibility, but it cannot override an immigration policy written into the requisition.
