What is the highest paid profession in Russia?
Exploring Russian salaries, analysts differ in calculations. The most highly paid professions of Russia in 2018 according to the Rosstat:
- financier, insurer - 150,000 rubles;
- oil producer and processor - 142,000 rubles;
- cosmonaut - 109,000 rubles;
- pilot - 108,000 rubles;
- scientists - 99,000 rubles;
- pharmacists (manufacturing plants) - 54,000 rubles.
But these data are averaged, they do not take into account differences between regions.
Representatives of private recruitment agencies and the state employment service express their opinions on the most highly paid professions in Russia.
- ship captain - 600,000 rubles;
- oil industry worker (foreman) - 400,000 rubles;
- director of an advertising agency - 400,000 rubles;

At the same time, analysts easily explain why the highest-paying job in Russia is the captain of sea liners. This is due to the development of shipping. The shortage of qualified airmen caused an increase in the salaries of the pilots. The same can be said about gold technologists, this is a rare and highly specialized profession. Not enough in the Russian Federation and IT professionals. The development of technology is much faster than the appearance on the market of relevant personnel.
Also, due to the instability of the economy, demand for risk managers is also growing. But in this segment, personnel with experience are in demand, who have already proved their ability to find a way out of difficult situations and save a business. The responsibilities of a crisis manager are not limited solely to this; he is engaged in attracting investments, restructuring debts, optimizing personnel policies, and building long-term strategies. But the work of risk managers is purely project in nature.
Experts are convinced that the most highly paid professions (surgeon, breeder, IT specialist) will maintain their positions in the next 10-20 years. Engineers, environmentalists and nanotechnologists can easily compete with them.
