Joseph Wang, Ph.D. Computational Astrophysics, ex-VP investment bank Answered Apr 20, 2013 If your programming skills are very good, then there are jobs in quantititative finance. The typical salaries start at $100K-$120K, but usually go up to about $200K with three to five years of experience. The one catch is that you have to move to NYC. The other thing about finance is that the glass ceiling is extremely high. There are people with science and engineering Ph.d.'s at the managing director level, that make more than $1M/year. The bad news is that your odds of getting promoted into a position that makes $1M/year is rather low (i.e. maybe 1 in 50). On the other hand, I can't think of any other fields where a science Ph.d. has a 1 in 50 shot of making over $1M/year.
