But anyway, if one gets to director in MV they can make more than £200k total comp, which is not massive for finance but anyway a lot of money in a broader sense.It is quite difficult to make it to director level...that is a problem!and that's my my statement starts with "Problem is the career perspective"It depends on how you define the career perspective. It is difficult to make it to director level, regardless of whether you work in FO or MV. Of course, you tend to make more money at FO than MV even if you are below director level. But again that is an issue of time VS money choosing between FO and MV.
