The highest-paying countries we track for this role are Singapore ($161,698), Ireland ($147,369), Qatar ($140,934). Keep in mind that higher-paying markets usually pair with higher living costs, so net purchasing power gaps are smaller than the headline numbers.

Qualifications That Move the Needle

Most employers expect bachelor's degree in finance or economics; cfa valued. Day to day, the skills that consistently correlate with higher pay in this field are financial modeling, valuation, excel — and, at senior levels, forecasting and presentation.
