Anonymous employee review website Glassdoor on Wednesday released its annual ranking of the 25 best jobs in Britain.
Glassdoor lets former and current staff rate both their employers, and the roles they hold at the company. You can also leave information about things like pay and benefits.
Glassdoor has used the feedback on its site to give various jobs a "Glassdoor Job Score" that takes into account earning potential, career opportunity ratings, and the number of current job openings. Glassdoor then crunches the numbers and gives each job a score out of five.
The point is to rank roles that offer good pay and good career opportunities and are available right now in Britain — not just in an ideal world.
For a job to be considered, it has to have at least 30 salary reports and at least 30 career opportunities ratings shared by UK-based employees over the past year.
Check out the top 25 below.
25. Personal Assistant
The job: Pretty much what is says on the tin — you're an assistant to an executive or business person. That could involve anything from organising a diary and fetching coffee to sorting out dry cleaning. It might not sound glamorous but, crucially, you get access to a top level executive who can give you valuable insight into how the business works.
Glassdoor Job Score: 3.4.
Number of Job Openings: 962.
Average Base Salary:£28,000.
Career Opportunities Rating: 3.7.
24. Trader
The job: Buying and selling stocks, bonds, and commodities. The draw for this job has always been the money but plenty of people also get a thrill out of the adrenaline rush that comes from making split second decisions.
Glassdoor Job Score: 3.4.
Number of Job Openings: 182.
Average Base Salary:£50,000.
Career Opportunities Rating: 3.4.
23. Service Manager
The job: Service manager is one of many jobs on the list that can mean different things in different industries, but in general it means dealing with clients to make sure the service your company offers is uniform and satisfactory.
Glassdoor Job Score: 3.5.
Number of Job Openings: 968.
Average Base Salary:£43,315.
