Despite high salaries that reach R$96 per month, one sector is facing difficulties in filling vacancies.
While the technology sector shines with astronomical salaries and almost unlimited opportunities, there is another equally challenging field, which even offering salaries in the six-figure range, faces a crisis in filling vacancies.
The struggle is not just to attract talent, but to retain it in an environment where competition for qualified professionals is intense. And the most curious thing? The sector in question is not the one you imagine at first glance.
De acordo com um levantamento recente da Robert Half, o setor financeiro oferece salários que podem chegar a até R$ 96 mil por mês para cargos de alta gestão. Contudo, mesmo com valores tão expressivos, the demand for leaders and professionals specialized in finance continues to grow.

This The labor shortage phenomenon is no longer restricted to the IT world; now, the financial market also suffers from a lack of qualified talent. Why, then, is it so difficult to fill these positions?
The enigma of high salaries in the financial sector
Finance professionals are increasingly valued, and rightly so. Skills like strategic analysis, inspirational leadership, and the ability to navigate economic uncertainty are more important than ever.
A recent study by consultancy PageGroup revealed that, currently, eight out of ten professionals in this sector do not want to change jobs, even when faced with tempting offers from other companies.
One of the main reasons for this loyalty is the common practice of offering salary counterproposals, internal promotions or even transfers of executives to other areas within the company.
According to the PageGroup survey, companies are investing heavily to retain their talent, recognizing that retaining an experienced professional can often be more advantageous than hiring new ones.
The search for financial leaders continues
Despite efforts to retain employees, there are still many open positions in the sector. According to a quick search on LinkedIn, there are currently more than 1.600 positions available in the financial area.
And the trend is for this number to grow even more in the coming months. Consulting firm Michael Page highlights that, with the increase in economic uncertainty, companies are looking for professionals who go beyond technical expertise.
The Michael Page 2024 Compensation Study shows that Financial leaders with strategic vision are the most sought after. Companies are not just looking for people who understand numbers, but also those who know how to transform them into assertive strategies. These leaders are essential to guiding organizations through times of crisis, connecting finance to the broader business context.
According to the study, “professionals are expected to know how to participate in discussions about booming businesses, know the company’s operating segments and translate this into financial strategies”.
The path to standing out in the financial sector
With the high demand for leaders in the financial sector, it is essential that professionals seek constant improvement. A good opportunity for this is the Pre-MBA in Corporate Finance offered by College EXAME.
Between September 16th and 24th, 2024, the course introduces participants to the world of corporate finance and offers an excellent opportunity for those who wish to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
The training, consisting of four virtual classes, covers essential topics such as financial analysis, risk management and strategic planning. Participants will receive a certificate of participation, which can be an important differentiator on their resume for those looking to advance their career or gain new opportunities.
Furthermore, College EXAME is offering a special condition for a limited time: for only R $ 37, it is possible to guarantee access to classes, a significant reduction in relation to the original price of R$ 397.
Opportunity or challenge?
With salaries that can exceed R$96 per month and a market hungry for strategic leaders, the financial sector is booming more than ever. However, the shortage of qualified talent is an obstacle that needs to be addressed.
Are continuing education and internal retention enough to meet demand, or are we heading towards a scenario where not even exorbitant salaries will be able to attract the right professionals?
And you, would you be willing to invest in your training to get one of these positions? Comment below!
