What is the average salary after MFin in the US and UK for Indian students?

 Salaries after an MFin vary widely, but here’s what Indian students can realistically expect.

• In the US, fresh MFin grads from top-tier schools earn $90K–$110K, especially in cities like New York, Boston, and San Francisco. These roles are typically in investment banking, risk, or fintech.
• Mid-tier programs may lead to salaries closer to $75K–$85K, but with growth potential in a couple of years.
• In the UK, most Indian grads earn £45K–£55K starting out. London-based roles in big banks or consulting firms might stretch to £60K–£65K.
• Living costs in the UK are lower than New York or California, which balances out slightly lower starting pay.
• Having prior experience or CFA Level 1 can increase post-MFin salary offers by 10–15% in both countries.

Placement also depends on internships and networking — the more proactive the student, the better the outcome, regardless of country.
