Corporate banking – know of vps that work 30-40 hours/week and make $300-350k
The perception of finance being this long hours grind is almost completely driven by the lower ranks of IB. Ofc I’m biased, but other areas of high finance offer similar if not better pay (especially as you get more senior) without there being any grind at all, and not that bad hours. Plus the work is way more intellectually stimulating than formatting pitch books all night lol.
LO AM for example easily pays more than $200k and is a pretty chill job once you know what you’re doing, hours wise at least. Hedge funds are more intense and I’m putting in reasonably hard hours now (say 60) but my colleagues who are more settled are just doing 40-50 (not including reading and keeping up with the markets etc in your own time).
A bit second tier but still can comfortably pay more than $200k is commercial and corporate banking. Also pretty easy to break into IMO.
Could be anything I’d you have 10+ YOE and are at the right shop. REPE is a good option but you’d likely need relevant experience.
Compliance
Qa engineer
Gotta go finance for a big med tech company lol. I worked at stryker for a summer and my managers boss who was like mid 40’s, bro was making 330 total comp, didn’t have an mba but was a really smart guy, and worked from home 3 days a week LOL
Commercial Banking
Up the chain in functional areas of risk management, operational risk, etc. I’m in business management, plenty of my colleagues who are decently (10+ years) senior make >$200, im almost at 7 years in the op risk/business management space and not far off.
These are still competitive roles and there are still no guarantees and I’m talking about comp for fairly top performers.
Same goes for management roles in FP&A, Strategy, etc.
what currency?
You will never find a chill £200k gbp role here in the UK lol. You’re either a NHS + private surgeon or in high finance roles with high chance of being laid off
Compliance/CCO route. Yes there might be stressful times during an SEC exam or something, but besides that you honestly don’t do much besides say “no” to things, review/edit/proofread materials, and attend zoom calls for compliance seminars to stay up to date on the latest regulations.Â
Can be a 20-30 hour a week gig and clear $500k+.
Corporate finance, back office in banks, accounting/corporate finance consulting, ect. Once you get about 10 years out, making 200k in a large company shouldn’t be uber hard.

Work your way up the FP&A ladder.
Middle Market/Commercial Banking
Wealth management. But you don’t start there.
Corp banking. You could clear $200k by 1st yr associate, MDs are capped at around $600-700k ish.
You could probably do it with 10 years of BO experience
Back office vp
How can someone from Consulting (not big 4) get into these type of roles ?
