Would be interesting to know how these figures have changed over the past 5 years… I believe that this is the most recent salary data that the CFAI has published…

I suspect that the median CFA salaries have probably fallen over 5 years, as I imagine that relatively few of the 30,000+ new charterholders added since that time have been able to land US$200,000+ jobs.
