TODAY’S QUESTION

Gareth asks, “I came to school so I could get a higher paying role. Is there a way to increase the chances of getting one?”

Recommendation: while any job is a gift from the heavens in the current market, there are a few ideas I’ve seen that tend to help in landing higher paid jobs:

• First, the simplest way to find out which companies or industries pay more is by doing 10 minutes of research on companies via a website like Glassdoor.

• Second, find which of the jobs available to you pay the most. If you’re an accountant for example, FP&A roles might pay more than financial analyst.

  • As well, if you have experience in sales, you may get more by staying in sales vs trying to switch over to consulting.

  • List out the role types that fit your experience and see which ones are paid the most.

• Finally, check out which country pays your field the most. For example, consultants get paid dramatically different wages in different countries - the same can be said for engineers, sales staff, HR, and nearly everything else.

Conclusion:

Wanting a higher pay job is natural for those looking at new roles. By doing some research in advance, you can save yourself a lot of time.
