Aim for the top: Here are Britain’s best paid jobs in 2019

By LLM Reporters   |  

If, like the majority of our readers, you enjoy a luxurious lifestyle, then the chances are that you have also got the bank balance to fund it – often, as the result of some pretty impressive career moves and a well-paying job. But, if you’re tired of your current career path yet don’t want to give up your handsome salary, thenthe concept of making a change can be something of a conundrum.

Remuneration is of great importance to some when choosing the career path to go down, and in the past, the highest paying positions, whatever the fields, would have been most likely to be found in London. But, with massive government and private investment, along with huge strides in technology, there are now highly paid roles in virtually every city in the country. And best of all, they are yours for the taking.

Whether you are searching for sought after jobs in Liverpool with Jobrapido or in London trying your luck by approaching companies directly, everyone has a fair shake at landing another financially rewarding role – in some cases, even more so that your current one.

Need some inspiration? We’ve picked out a few of the nation’s best paying jobs that are guaranteed to add an extra zero or two to your monthly pay check. Because lets be honest, there can never quite be too many.

Chief Executive Officer

A chief executive officer, often referred to as a CEO, is the person who is the highest ranking executive inside a business structure. A CEO has a lot of responsibilities, including making critical corporate decisions, whilst also taking charge of both company resources and operations. A direct link between the business and the board, it will come as no surprise that it’s the board and stakeholders who will appoint someone into the role. A great gig if you can get it – and the chance to earn an impressive wedge.

Financial Director

The financial side of a business is of enormous importance because if you don’t keep the finances in order, things can go drastically wrong very quickly. With this in mind, it will come as no surprise to learn that financial directors are paid rather handsomely, as it’s their job to keep everything in check. Financial directors are required to produce financial reports based on analysis regularly, which can then, in turn, be used to improve a company’s performance in this area. This means you have the chance to make a big impact – which of course, in turn, means that you’ll be compensated very well for your time.

Becoming a legal professional takes time, but it’s an fulfilling role in more ways than one

Legal Professional

Becoming a legal professional takes time, but it’s an fulfilling role in more ways than one. As a legal professional, opportunities across a number of fields will open up to you, including specialisation in a plethora of specific fields. The more specialised you become in an area of law, the more rewarding it will be financially. You can expect to be paid well when entering the law sector from the off, but a Bachelor’s Degree in Law is a minimum requirement in most circumstances.

Broker

Effectively, brokers earn their money by being the go-between in a business deal. They will work with all relevant parties, and then be paid through commission for the services provided. So, if you happen to be a respected and reputable broker, who has been involved in big deals previously, then there’s a chance to earn a great deal of money. However, being a successful broker can rely on chance and being in the right place at the right time, so it’s not always a reliable source of income. When it pays though, it pays big, and this is its biggest draw. Not one for the faint hearted, but if you’ve got nerves of steel and an ambition as big as your bank balance, then this might just be the role for you.

Medical Professionals

Britain undoubtedly has one of the best healthcare and medical systems in place on the planet. Working within the sector can prove challenging, however, particularly due to the amount of pressure and responsibility which comes with the job. It’s no surprise then, that medical professionals are paid very well in Britain, and many would suggest they deserve every penny. It takes years of intense studying to qualify to work in the industry, and then many more years gaining the necessary experience, but the rewards are more than worth it in the long term.

Whether you’re looking to make a career change or take the next step from the already lofty heights of the ladder, then these are the roles that will guarantee you a lifetime of luxury. So, if you’re bold, ambitious and utterly tenacious, then what have you got to lose?
