Dr Andrew Chamberlain, Glassdoor’s chief economist, said: “This report reinforces that the best jobs are highly-skilled and are staying ahead of the growing trend toward workplace automation. The finance and tech industries are well represented on this list, both of which the UK is renowned for.
He added that for tech jobs in particular, companies across all industries are hiring workers for the much-needed positions.
“Any organisation today with a mobile app, web presence, or digitised data are struggling to fill positions like data scientists, solutions architect, and mobile developers.”
Many of these jobs – such as tax manager, HR manager, commercial manager, and marketing manager – can be performed in a variety of sectors, showing the versatility of these roles. While the role of finance manager offers the highest median annual base salary, the job with the highest satisfaction rating is scrum master (described as a “facilitator for a development team”), at 4.4 out of 5.
