What careers within the finance industry have the highest compensation ceiling?
Hey WSO,
I hope y'all are doing well! I was wondering what careers within the finance industry have the highest compensation ceiling. We know that investment banking, as an example, (especially at bulge brackets and elite boutiques) has a salary high floor, with some 1st year analysts making upwards of 110k. That's in contrast to a field like trading where the base salaries are generally lower but bonus potential is comparatively uncapped. So all in all, what are some areas of finance that have the highest all in compensation? I'm aware that regardless of the sector, if your good at something, you likely get a handsome, monetary reward for your aptitude. Even then, I'd imagine that breaking 7 figures, for example, is easier in some sectors compared to others.
Thanks
As fast as possible? Trading. Probably not sellside but buyside. Macro funds and especially quant prop shops tend to come to mind.
Thanks, TopBoy. This goes in line with what I've heard. Have a great day!
