The 11 best-paid jobs in UK finance

Within finance, like all other professions, certain jobs pay better than others. So what is the best job if you want to make the most money?

New data from salary benchmarking site Emolument can shed a bit of light on that question.

Emolument compared the salaries of more than 1,000 directors in a variety of different finance jobs, and put the results together for us.

While the lowest paid finance workers at the director stage of their career earn at least £100,000 ($145,779), the highest paid workers can earn in excess of three times that amount.

Commenting on Emolument's findings, cofounder Alice Leguay said:

The levelling of earnings between banking and buy-side activities for juniors allows them a broader scope when it comes to picking a career path, less defined by the hope of making a push towards the banking bonanza, but rather the added value a job in Private Equity, Venture Capital or other key roles in the industry may bring.
