Keen to break into a corporate strategy / strategic initiatives role at a payments org (think visa, Mastercard, Amex, Stripe, PayPal).

Do any of these pay >£110/120k base in the UK and for what level? As a background, I’ve got 6 years of consulting experience (mix of CDD/transformation projects) + 1 year in-house strategy experience at a bank focusing on payments.

Any advice on how to break into the above and if it’s realistic to begin with re comp expectations. Thank you in advance
