Fixed Income Analyst wanting to make more money

I’m a first year analyst at a fixed income debt shop (structured finance: CLO’s, ABS’s, CMBS/RMBS, etc). I’m currently in portfolio management but have a lot of lateral moves internally. However, I’m outside of NYC and I don’t love the city where I am and to top it off I’m only making like ~70k ish all-in. I want to make stacks. What should I do? I’m not a total hardo so any help would be appreciated.

 

I'm asking because depending on the location, maybe it's worth pursuing internal opps or networking in your city if you have contacts there at other firms. But I can't comment on that with "not NYC" as my point of reference...
