It may sound too good to be true, but it’s not. At least, not according to careers website Glassdoor.
The rising cost of living may have some Americans looking for higher-paying jobs, as their expenses — from groceries to rent — tick up. Others may be looking for a fully remote job as their companies are asking them to show up in person at the office multiple times a week. The top-paying fully remote role is a quantitative researcher, according to the company, which pays a median salary of $175,000 a year. Technology managers, technical program managers, and infrastructure architects follow, with a median salary of $150,000 to $160,000.
Educational requirements: Likely a bachelor’s or a master’s degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field.Job description: A technical program manager is similar to that of a technology manager, as the person would oversee a company’s technical projects, and implement new systems, or even develop new products, Zip Recruiter said. This role may also include having to supervise teams, and keep track of products, as well as deliver reports to more senior staff.
To be clear, there are other jobs that pay six figures that can be done remotely, such as that of a creative director of a company, patent attorney, or even an economist.
