[QUOTE="daleholborow, post: 113361, member: 1266"] Sorry, my first comment was kind of ironic, I just meant exit opportunities, exit options ;) Speaking from an Australian perspective, someone starting out in a consulting firm in market risk might start on as low as say AUD40K, or as high as 70+ if you landed a job in a good bank, with my idea of the avg probably close to the 50 mark. With a few years behind you, you'd be more like the 80-100K range. Someone consulting, in a job of a high managerial to associate director range, I believe you could expect say 120-160 or more. I know algo trader positions starting in the AUD80-100K range, but they were also ruthless in cutting people who weren't performing. They'd intentionally take in 12-15 people on trial, and publicly declare that they'd take 1 or 2 max by the end of two months, with the rest having been let go. That said, I know guys working in quant dev for similar algo-type trading, in very successful firms, who make 150+ and something similar again in bonuses. Note that Australians are very well paid compared to most of the world, so these figures wouldnt hold well for anywhere other than say, the USA and Britain I expect. [/QUOTE]
