Earlier this month we compiled a ranking list for the best companies to work for in 2013. The financial factor has naturally been a huge factor when it came to build the algorithm to rank those companies and therefore, it’s more than natural that we’ll see a few companies names being repeated in the following list.
In normal circumstances, whoever looks for a job usually prioritizes the money aspect above any other factor being offered. It’s with that in mind that we decided to come up with a top 10 list from the top paying companies in the United States. It’s also important to note that the paychecks reported below result from not only the average salary earned by the employees, but every other financial sum being paid by the company, which includes bonus, insurance money, stock options, etc.
