They say that money doesn’t buy happiness, but it does pay the rent and keeps food in the cupboard. Yet, no one wants to spend endless days chained to a desk for a soul-sucking job just because the pay is high.
Could there actually be jobs that pay well and have an excellent culture with great benefits?
Compensation, culture and career monitoring company Comparatively has delivered a list of companies that do offer such opportunities. Their methodology was to gather ratings from employees anonymously between the dates of September 12, 2017 and September 12, 2018. The best ratings were given to companies based on average salary and on the answers to questions regarding salaries.
