Representatives of which professions earn the most today and who has the best prospects in terms of increasing wages.

Who gets the most

The leaders in the amount of wages in Russia are traditionally considered to be managers. According to the recruiting portal Superjob, offers for top managers - directors of organizations and heads of main business areas - start at 220-250 thousand rubles.

The upper bar is usually hidden behind the phrase "by agreement". This means that the salary depends on the qualifications of the applicant and will be supplemented by a bonus system for achieving certain results.

In some positions, the earnings of managers are close to a million rubles.

In second place are highly qualified IT specialists. Recruiters assure that this direction is more promising. A mobile application development specialist with proven experience can, after 3–4 years of work in the industry, claim a salary, which a manager gets in 10–12 years.

Also among the highest paid specialists are airline employees. Managers (for example, a technical director) are offered a salary of 300 thousand rubles, the commander of an aircraft - from 350 to 470 thousand rubles or more, the head of the flight attendant service - from 150 thousand rubles. In addition, airlines typically provide employees with annual performance bonuses.

Recently, Aeroflot introduced lump sum payments for the employment of flight personnel: the pilot-in-command receives 650 thousand rubles, the co-pilot - 350 thousand rubles.
