It’s true that there’s a lot of money to be made in finance. But which positions really rake in the big bucks?

The only positions featured on the list are those that receive at least 20 salary reports from LinkedIn members in the US. The jobs are all taken from the banking, capital markets, financial services, insurance, investment banking, investment management, venture capital, and private equity industries.
Occupations were then ranked based upon reported median base salaries.
