As LinkedIn puts it, “not all jobs are created equal” — and neither are their paychecks.
But if you’re on the hunt for the highest-paying employment opportunities, LinkedIn researchers put together a list of the top 15 jobs based on highest salaries for entry-level positions.
Company analysts studied thousands of profiles of members who graduated between 2015 and 2017 to compile a list of job titles that pay $70,000 or more.
To determine average job salaries, analysts used LinkedIn's Salary tool, which helps identify different factors that influence your pay.
