Advancement Prospects
With advanced education and work experience, lower-level investment professionals, such as accountants and analysts, can hope for promotions to the position of investment manager or director of finance. Investment professionals may face stiff competition for top positions—chief investment officer, for example. There are much fewer executive jobs than other positions.
Many talented individuals may choose to become an independent investment manager, which can result in higher earnings.
