What Business Roles/Careers Have Surprisingly High Salaries?

I'm talking about things that aren't IB, Consulting, SWE. I'll start, product. Might not bring in PE money, but Senior PM's at non FAANG F500 tech companies can rake in $750k. 


Other roles that come to mind are (at large tech comanies) Tech Sales (500k+), Partnerships (400k+). Solid income for someone in their 40's especially considering the fact that they work 25% less than folks in IB

Please share other paths.
