生活和工作中有一件事或許有價值知道:權力不僅僅由位子和級別得到, let me use English: power not just comes from one's position and rank, it also comes from many other ways, for example: a key role in the business pie. Analysts often occupy that role, so almost always are very influential (and well paid).
Rank in a business organization is just a reflection of the history, which has little to do with today's business or priority of interests -- and it can be easily changed, like by kicking somebody out and filling the analyst into that rank and position.
