It's a portfolio manager position which simply means you manage a portfolio of various products, positions and trade/hedge to make good alpha i.e return above the risk free rate.
You get paid a percentage of your return and the size of the portfolio is in the million of dollars. You do the math and can see they can get paid in the millions.

Well that certainly is financially appealing.
