FP&A vs Trader: which pays more?
The median for FP&A is $125,000 per year (typically $97,175–$153,000), versus $150,000 for Trader ($105,000–$200,000). That puts Trader about 20% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so FP&A and Trader 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.
