Average Salary: $76,950
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $3,212,000
Your title is "financial analyst"—what do you think? Yes, you make a very, very good living. If you're going to be such an expert on money, one would hope that you've figured out a way for some of it to wander over into your own wallet.
A brand new FA out of a "mint" MBA program (Harvard, Stanford, maybe Wharton, maybe maybe Columbia, and...that's it, really) makes $150,000 or so to start (source). A top dawg FA at a big bank makes millions. By the way, that's low compared to their brethren who quit the FA job after five years, joined a hedge fund, bet big on the roulette wheel #32, and won.
Bottom line: The money is awesome if you're good. And if you aren't, you can have a great life as a CFO of a smaller company that maybe some day gets big.
