Quick Question: Does anyone know why Idaho would be the second highest income state behind NY for financial advisors? wild. was not expecting that.
I built a salary lookup tool using Bureau of Labor Statistics data. It was not easy to compile this project but I hope its useful for anyone considering a financial career.
Disclosure: I work for Acadio (FINRA exam prep). We'd rather build free tools people actually use than burn cash on ads. Mods, pull it if this breaks the rules.
Pick your state and career path (Insurance Agent, Series 6, Series 7, Financial Advisor, IAR, or Financial Analyst) and it shows you the median salary in the state Some numbers that surprised me:
-
Financial advisors make $65k in Mississippi, $168k in New York
-
Idaho is second highest for advisors at $136k, no idea why
-
Securities agents: $130k in Connecticut, $45k in Mississippi
-
Insurance is the flattest spread, roughly $44k to $79k nationwide
