Hey everyone! 💸💡 Have you noticed a shift in the trend of salary progression? 🤔 It used to be that landing a big salary right out of college was the norm, but now it seems like a gradual climb to a six-figure income is more common. What’s your take on this?
Here’s my situation:
– Age 24
– ACCA (CPA) and CFA 1 certified
– Halfway through a PHD
– 2 years of experience in Big4 financial instruments valuation
– Based in Ireland
I’m currently making around €45k and contemplating whether I should add coding skills or pursue a second master’s in math to boost my income potential. 🤯 Do you think taking a more traditional route with a regular job for a few years would have been a better choice for me?
Possible solutions to consider:
– Embrace continuous learning and upskilling to stay competitive in the job market
– Network with professionals in your desired field to explore new opportunities
– Evaluate the potential return on investment for further education or certifications
What’s your advice for navigating the changing landscape of salary expectations in the job market? Let’s share our insights and learn from each other! 🚀 #CareerAdvice #SalaryNegotiation #JobMarketTrends
Reality is large salaries (150k+) don’t really exist in the Irish market (and the few that do are taxed to death anyway). You need to move country or else start a successful business to make money here.
Those salaries definitely exist in the U.S.
+80K starting salary in UK/Ireland its only possible at Investment Banking Analyst roles and thats all.
And to pass +150K you’ll need either work at IB/PE with several years of experience, or either become Director at large companies such Director at Big 4 companies, and that will take +10 years.
big 4 comp is a joke but big 4 experience opens up multiple pathways
I work at a FAANG company and the Irish salaries there are laughable. Ireland is a rough place to work in Finance.
