Generally speaking, futures industry associations have a ranking for futures companies, which is based on the profitability and risk control ability of futures companies. I don't know where your general size refers.
The profits of futures companies lie in brokerage business, asset management business, risk subsidiaries, interest and so on. The company set up a new asset management subsidiary. It is estimated that the R&D department can try to sell products, and then the salary will be linked to this, so the salary will go up easily. Huaxi futures products are doing well. It seems that we have invested in two companies now and divided them into a subsidiary at our own risk. R&D department also has many positions and many directions, such as consulting, quantification, investment strategy and so on. Actually, it depends on what direction you do. If you just write a research report or something, it is estimated that it will be very difficult, because many futures companies are state-owned enterprises and the wages of state-owned enterprises are not high. If it is related to the asset management business, or directly sent to the asset management subsidiary, the salary potential is great. But the newcomers have to sit in the office and write a research report or something first. Then slowly move to other locations.
