F.I. Research, salary/progression/opps

I have tried searching through the forum and have found similar posts, however most replies were not too helpful or people just shitting on the field.

Just looking for some information regarding exit ops, salary and career paths within Fixed Income research. Seems like salary is similar to other divisions during the analyst years, but what sort of progression is there after that? Interested in sell-side research or research positions at big AM firms. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
