Many financial sale agents are referred to as investment bankers. This position involves connecting businesses with investors. Investment bankers advise companies on which stocks or bonds to pursue, and they sell securities to investors to try and ensure that investors are protected. Most employers require applicants to hold the minimum of bachelor's degrees. Investment bankers usually must be licensed or registered through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). And if you talk about salary range then it is quite difficult to predict as it depends on the organisation which you are associated with and the total work experience.
Hope this helps!!!
