Want to eventually transition to finance, currently in Cybersecurity/GRC

As the title states, I am currently in Cybersecurity/GRC and would like to think about making a transition to the banking world to try to get away from whatever is going on at the federal government. 

Risk management comes to mind first, so I wanted to ask what salaries looked like for risk analysts and if it is worth it to transition into a role like that.
