Need advice
Currently a y2 associate working in cloud Cybersecurity. I have an opportunity to transition out and into a private wealth firm and eventually become a financial advisor.
I would like to know what are realistic 5yr outlooks if I stay in Cyber, is manager possible?If so what would comp look like. Is 200k manager position realistic in 5yr?I feel as though transitioning to FA would be where I can reach 200k+ in 5yrs and have more freedom but just don’t know enough for outlook
Tc~94k

Cloud and cyber are so insanely in demand you’d be throwing away millions (maybe tens of) of earning potential (over a life time) by transitioning to FA.

We can agree 12 is short and doable while 20 is notably long

How good are you at sales? I have a friend that’s an FA and it’s a huge struggle, but can be rewarding if you enjoy the work. Do NOT do it purely as a comp play as you will be disappointed by the effort it takes. Something like ~95% of people who become advisors do not last. On some level it’s a commodity business so you have to have the referral network to sustain yourself.

I would stay in Cybersecurity working within the cloud. Like SM1 said, earning potential is insane. Don't be deterred by your current salary. Earnings can double or triple in 5 years.
