CFO vs Psychiatrist: which pays more?
The median for CFO is $222,500 per year (typically $174,425–$279,000), versus $358,800 for Psychiatrist ($335,000–$397,250). That puts Psychiatrist about 61% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so CFO and Psychiatrist are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
