“This report reinforces that high pay continues to be tied to in-demand skills and higher education, which in part, is why we see several companies on this list among the consulting and technology industries,” said Andrew Chamberlain, PhD, chief economist at Glassdoor. “In technology, we continue to see unprecedented salaries as the war for talent is still very active, largely due to the ongoing shortage of highly skilled workers needed.”

Glassdoor compiled the report using information employees voluntarily reported to Glassdoor over the past year.
