Career website Glassdoor today released its 2017 report on the “Highest Paying Jobs In Demand.” Just like last year, in the top 25 U.S. jobs listed, 11 were in tech — more than in any other industry (health care was next in line, with six jobs).
Glassdoor’s list is ordered by average base salary (not to be confused with the top jobs list). For a job title to be considered, it had to receive at least 100 salary reports shared by U.S.-based employees over the past year.
Without further ado, here are the U.S. tech jobs that made the cut:
- Enterprise Architect
- Applications Development Manager
- Software Engineering Manager
- IT Architect
- Software Architect
- Solutions Architect
- Data Architect
- IT Program Manager
- UX Manager
- Systems Manager
- Scrum Master
The first two tech jobs placed in the top 10 of the full list. Enterprise Architect was sixth overall, and Applications Development Manager was eighth. Last year, four tech positions made it into the top 10.
