Financial Modeling Salaries
When it comes to base salaries, the finance profession is often one of the most lucrative options. Financial analyst jobs are highly sought-after positions in the industry, with average base salary ranges of from $50,000 to $80,000. These figures vary widely depending on experience, company, and location. Major financial centers such as New York, Hong Kong, and London tend to have higher compensation.
In addition to their base salaries, financial analysts typically earn cash bonuses and equity-based compensation. These bonuses and equity awards can often make up a very meaningful part of their compensation and in some cases equal over 100% of the base salary.
