For those with 2-5 YOE, what is your salary?

On 90k base now in bank mid office after several moves through my first 4.5 years. Have come quite a long way since I started at 42k at an SME.

Crappy starting base is not the end as long as you are willing to learn fast and fight for your rights

Not 2 YOE but my progress has been similar to some with 2-5 YOE so thought I would post.

How did you make the jump to FO? Would love to know!

Also, is it a MNC bank or Local Bank?

Did you hop a lot to different banks? Did you find hopping around critical to bumping your pay as suppose to staying within the same firm?

Since leaving the sme I have been at 3 different banks.

Definitely jumping is critical in helping to compensate for my poor starting base. I used the first bank I joined as a springboard, racking up the necessary exp and skillset needed for the role. The base pay wasn't much higher than at the sme, but they paid good bonuses. Spent about 2 years there and jumped after that to banks 2 and 3, getting healthy increments both times.

If I had stayed at bank 1 throughout, I would probably only be at 55k base now.

Ops/tech job was at a BB. SnT is at local bank. Not the big red one though

They were looking for a techy guy who also has finance bg. My degree is finance but I am also a huge nerd and aggressively programmed away my ops job (which is why I got transferred to the tech side as well).

That’s awesome! Could you share what tools/skills of yours were sought after by the SnT desk @ the local bank? VBA? Python?

Calling bs on this one. The salary growth for marketing roles is usually putrid esp considering the starting pay was in the low 3s in this case. You'd be lucky to hit even 4K by 2021.
