The 25 highest-paying companies in the US in 2016
If the highest-paying companies in the US are any indication, there are no shortcuts to raking in the big bucks.
As you might expect, tech companies dominate this year's Glassdoor list.
"Salaries are sky-high at consulting companies due to 'barriers of entry' in this field, which refers to employers wanting top consultants to have personal contacts, reputations, and specialized skills and knowledge,"says Glassdoor Chief Economist Dr. Andrew Chamberlain.
"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," he says.
To compile its annual list, Glassdoor identified the 25 companies with the highest median total compensation - which includes base salary and other forms of income, such as commissions, tips, and bonuses - as reported by US-based employees on the Glassdoor website over the past year.
