Financial Standard has picked up Parity's FY26-27 Salary Guide and Market Insights.
The headline finding is a premium. Asset and wealth management is paying $10,000 to $20,000 more than banking, technology, insurance and the public sector for the same product skills. Head of Product tops out at $270,000, twenty grand above the ceiling in banking and insurance.
Karren Vergara also went past the salary tables and into the sentiment data. 79% of respondents open to a move. Only 23% actively looking.
And burnout as the problem leaders are ignoring most, named by more people than change fatigue, career stagnation and leadership capability put together.
