Relative competitiveness of different finance jobs

How do finance jobs rank in terms of competitiveness in general?

Just read somewhere that PB/PWM is much less competitive than IB, which could be expected, but this made me wonder about other finance jobs.

How would you rank the "general finance jobs" (FP&A, Commercial banking, etc) in terms of competitiveness? I assume the same roles can greatly vary in terms of competitiveness depending on the company we're talking about so just give a general ranking or specify the type of companies.
