Some jobs pay better than others, it's no secret.
But which ones are at the forefront?
These three jobs in Germany currently promise the best salary.
Stuttgart - "What do you earn?" This question is still a taboo subject for many.
And that despite the fact that salary portals now give a good insight into how high the earnings are in the different industries and with different employers.
Nevertheless, every second person in Germany does not know what their partner earns.

The kununu comparison portal also provides more transparency when it comes to salaries.
In a large salary check in 2023, the platform analyzed how much employees in Germany really earn based on more than 500,000 salary details.
The figures for this all come from information provided by employees from the years 2021 and 2022 and therefore offer an up-to-date insight into the earnings situation in Germany.
In addition, only full-time earnings were taken into account in the evaluation.
The average gross annual salaries of the paycheck are amazing - especially those in the first three places.
Salary analysis: Ranking shows occupations with top salaries
In addition to inclinations and skills, salary usually plays a major role when deciding on a profession.
However, only a few know exactly what they want to do professionally after school or training or studies.
Or whether they stay in the profession they have learned.
It is not for nothing that there are also many lateral entry jobs that are really well paid.
Anyone who is still unsure and is looking for an extremely well-paid job should take a look at the top 40 best-paid jobs in Germany.
However, the kununu ranking only considers certain professions.
Excluded from the analysis were:
Jobs with a managerial function or management position, for example chief physician
Job titles that are too generic, for example partner
Jobs with less than 200 salary details
Digitization, globalization and Co. have created many new professions with high salaries.
However, some jobs may soon no longer exist.
However, the top 3 in the ranking will certainly remain in the future.
Medical advisors, lawyers and pilots made it to the top.
Annual salary of more than 80,000 euros: These are the professions where you earn the best in Germany
With an average annual salary of 86,300 euros, the Medical Advisor takes first place in the ranking.
The Medical Advisor is a medical scientific expert for a drug or therapeutic area of a company.
He acts as a contact for doctors and pharmacists and also forms the interface between pharmaceutical companies and hospitals.
Most people know that a good salary is earned in the pharmaceutical industry and medicine.
After all, the medical profession is one of the better-paid jobs for young professionals without experience.

The minimum salary is also considerable: according to information on kununu, this is 62,000 euros per year.
As the portal shows, there is also a lot of room for improvement.
A Medical Advisor in Germany can earn up to 137,100 euros a year.
Employers with top salaries for medical advisors include Roche, HEXAL AG, Boehringer Ingelheim and AstraZeneca GmbH.
In contrast, these ten companies in Germany are particularly family-friendly.
The profession of lawyer follows in second place in the ranking.
At 83,200 euros a year, this job is definitely one of the best paid.
Again, the salary range is extreme.
While the minimum salary is 37,800 euros per year according to the analysis, up to 146,400 euros can also be possible for lawyers who pursue a career.
Starting salaries for lawyers in Germany with less than 3 years of professional experience are between 37,800 euros and 59,520 euros.
These are the top 3 average salaries in Germany (as of February 24, 2023):
Profession | Average annual salary | salary satisfaction |
Medical Advisor | 86,300 euros | 78 percent |
Attorney | 83,200 euros | 72 percent |
pilot | 82,300 euros | 56 percent |

With a difference of only 900 euros, the profession of pilot follows in third place.
On average, pilots in Germany earn 82,300 euros, according to kununu.
Depending on experience and industry, the salary range is correspondingly large: between 28,500 euros and 159,100 euros are possible.
What is surprising here, however, is the comparatively low level of salary satisfaction.
This is 56 percent, while it is 78 percent for medical advisors and 72 percent for lawyers.
A survey found out what salary Germans are satisfied with.
