If you want to earn a high salary, you have to look at the position. The chief financial officer is better than the financial manager. The chief financial officer must be a person trusted by the board of directors, and may not have much ability. The financial manager must be the kind of person with strong ability, but most directors don't necessarily know his name.
Do it slowly, get all the financial certificates before the age of 40, plus more than ten years of practice, it is not a problem to mix some experience with a financial manager. Anyway, the older you get, the more popular you become. Don't worry ~
