What our data shows for Financial Risk Specialists
RoleHue publishes 96 salary records for Financial Risk Specialists, across 2 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $122,319 at the 25th percentile to $178,851 at the 75th, a spread of $56,532 around $148,039. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $148,039 figure rather than in dollars (38% of it), that spread is wider than 71% of the roles we cover.
