Hypothetical Question; Which career/firm Joe should pick to make the most money after his MBA ?

Joe graduated with 3.9 GPA in economics from a target-school, worked at a BB IB for 2 years, then worked for a year at a PE firm, and now doing his MBA at Harvard/Wharton.

Joe is a top performer and hungry for money, his goal is to make the most money he can make in 10 years without starting a company/firm. After completing his MBA, which career/firm will give the highest salary to Joe in 10 years ?

(Joe is not interested with quantitative jobs)
