Which One Of These Jobs Leads To The Most Wealth ?

Operations analyst in a fund admin firm working with traders and portfolio managers to value portfolios and products.

Fund accountant at a hedge fund where I will be working side by side with traders calculating NAV as my main role.

Account executive selling global payments products to small & medium businesses and managing client accounts at a FX services firm.

These are my 3 current options, recruiter said it may be possible to crossover to a trader within the hedge fund after working there for a while as a fund accountant but he may have just been telling me what I wanted to hear.

If I had to guess it would be the second option only If i was able to crossover.

The account executive pays the highest of the three and can lead to a high salary + bonus should I start selling expensive products to large businesses.

Which of these 3 would provide the most wealth over the next 5-10 years and which ones are dead ends ?

 
SGL7313:
I would say Fund Accountant at a hedge fund as you can move internally (depends on hedge fund). then maybe account executive selling payment products depending on pay split/commission

I was thinking the same, the typical bonus at the account exec firm is 17-34% of base salary so I doubt there are guys making multiples of their base in bonuses.
