I appreciate this question has many unique factors to each company so please just try to keep the answers as general as possible.
As a newly qualified CFA charter holder with say 5 - 7 years work experience working in a general analyst role, what would you expect the broad salary range to be (Minimum and average - obviously upside is undeterminable)?
answer in Dollars or GBP is fine (we are UK based)
What industry are you in for the general analyst role? Wealth? Portfolio Manager? IB? PE? I personally do not think that owning the CFA charter will increase your salary at all. Salaries are generally based on experience - if you are looking to negotiate a couple of 1000£/$ on top of your average industry compensation - then I think the CFA may be useful.
I think generally the CFA will give you the interview/open the door.
Your question was too non-specific for anyone to give you a good answer, brah. That’s why no one is giving you input. Anyway, assuming you mean Equity Research, expect $300k to $500k in New York for VP level positions (5-7 years) at major banks. For low-mid tier buy side firms, I’d guess somewhere like $250k to $400k, with a broad dispersion.
