Why do you wanna go in circles lol. If you know what you want, do something that would allow you to take steps in that direction.

Cyber security is a bog standard profession within IT. I have never heard that they have as competitive a salary as investment bankers. If you have seen cyber security jobs that have high salaries like bankers, go for them.
