Banking 

There are numerous lucrative jobs in banking that offer high salaries and opportunities for advancement. While traditional investment banking (IB) is typically divided into mergers and acquisitions (M&A), equity or debt capital markets (optimizing capital structure), equity research (analyzing and recommending stocks), and sales and trading (trading stocks and other financial assets), banking offers many more divisions, such as asset management, risk management, or private banking.

Development opportunities:
Investment banking is often used as a stepping stone to a career in private equity, in M&A departments or even on the board of large corporations. Other areas of banking usually offer a much better work-life balance and long-term promotion opportunities within the bank.
