SAS Programmer Skills and Qualifications
SAS programmers are computer programmers with a deep understanding of SAS software and strong analytical skills who can look at data and find the statistical information businesses want to see. Employers prefer candidates who have the following skills:
- Computer proficiency – SAS programmers need excellent computer skills to work with a variety of software programs, SAS software in particular
- Programming – SAS programmers know how to write in multiple computer programming languages, most commonly SQL and Visual Basic
- Communication skills – because SAS programmers collaborate with other programmers and create daily reports, both verbal and written communication skills are essential
- Time management – SAS programmers use time management skills to prioritize work tasks and meet deadlines
- Analytical thinking – SAS programmers need analytical skills to understand the data they’re studying and turn it into comprehensible statistical information
- Attention to detail – SAS programmers use attention to detail to carefully study statistical tables and databases and find all the important information contained within
SAS Programmer Education and Training
A majority of employers seek SAS programmers who have a bachelor’s degree in business, computer science, economics, mathematics, statistics, or a similar area of study, in addition to past programming experience. Professionals with a master’s degree are even more desirable to employers. Employers provide very little training to SAS programmers, who already know how to write in several programming languages and have a strong command of SAS software. However, a brief orientation period is usually offered to new SAS programmers so they can become familiar with the company’s objectives and get to know the rest of the programming staff. Orientation is brief and typically lasts no longer than two weeks.
SAS Programmer Salary and Outlook
PayScale shows that SAS programmers earn a median yearly income of $76,670. Job data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that computer programmers earn a median salary of $82,240. SAS programmers are a specialized type of computer programmer. The BLS predicts employment of these professionals will drop 7 percent through 2026. Full-time SAS programmers typically receive benefits packages that include health insurance with dental and vision coverage, life insurance, and retirement planning options. SAS programmers who work for themselves as independent contractors receive no benefits and must manage their own healthcare, taxes, and retirement needs.
