As millennials enter the job market and are looking to pay off their mountains of student debt, finding high-paying jobs in their given fields becomes a priority. With some of the highest paying businesses in the country located along the West Coast, particularly in California, those on the East Coast may feel the pressure to relocate or take on a lower paying position. Fortunately, there are companies in the Northeast that provide competitive salaries, some even averaging six-figure jobs.
As with any company offering salaries of this size, employees are expected to know their stuff. Don’t go looking to step into a six-figure job as an entry level candidate who will still need training, additional education, and experience. These salaries are for those who are experts in their field and can demonstrate consistent high performance in the workplace. If you can do that, you have a much better chance of landing the paycheck you want.
It’s also important to note the types of careers these six-figure salaries are associated with. These can include:
