Singapore, the city-state founded by British statesman and warrior Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, stands out at the top work destination for sales directors in the investment banking sector.
Real-time salary data specialist, Emolument.com, has examined 2013-14 salary and bonus data from 163 sales directors in front office markets positions in London, New York, Singapore, Madrid, Milan and Paris.
Its research reveals:
- Singapore pays the most with both higher salaries and higher bonuses. Sales directors in Singapore make nearly $72,000 (£42,750) more in total compensation than those in New York.
- Bonuses are substantially higher in New York, which is a close second to Singapore in terms of total compensation: on average bonuses are 5% higher in New York than in Singapore and 33% higher than in London.
- Milan lags significantly when it comes to bonuses: $67,000 in Milan vs. $240,000 in New York.
- Total compensation is almost the same in London and Paris: base salary in London is only 2% higher than in Paris, while bonus is 5% higher in Paris than in London.
Robert Benson, CEO at Emolument.com, said ‘’The ‘director’ title is a very versatile one that can apply to a newly promoted vice-president or a highly seasoned manager. From these figures, it seems that sales directors in Singapore may be more experienced managers and, hence, receiving higher base pay than in other locations.”
