This is a very broad question. So I'll give. Abroad answer.
Salaries can vary alot depending how you use your CFA. Asset management is probably where it'll carry the most weight and will provide the highest returns. Close friend of mine is CIO at AM earning ~1 MM. The rest of ppl I knew work in ER or CF and they're earning pretty standard salaries to their peers in those jobs.
I can't imagine the institute pays that well.
