In New York, for example, the average FA salary is $165,800 and there are many residents that earn a lot of money and are looking for help. In San Francisco, the average is $157,700, with almost 30% of households earning $200,000+ a year.

In Chicago, FAs earn an average of $150,000, while those in Charlotte, NC make an average of $146,410. Meanwhile in Oakland, FAs earn an average of $157,700.
