Lately I’ve been wondering if finance salaries are hitting a ceiling. Between AI automating more of our work, org charts getting flatter, and cost-cutting pressure from the top, I’m not seeing the comp jumps we used to get. I’m at $132k now, and even lateral moves feel flat. Do you think they've peaked, or will they keep growing over the next 5 years?

200k is the new 100k and companies wont accept it and are collectively suppressing salaries. Keep fighting for more

So true & sad!

Yeah based on my experience and asking around, I truly believe we’re seeing negative wage growth

Staying at the same salary is falling behind. Companies are hesitant to give bumps of any substantial amount. Hoping to see some improvement because everyone is starting to feel it.

There's been reporting about the current job market pushing salaries downward. So salary bumps may seem constrained for a while. Of course, it all depends on a lot of variables, and whoever has some skill that's suddenly in demand will still clean up.

Inflation is higher than the increase in salary so yes. I believe salaries have reached its peak already

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
