But which jobs in the industry provide the best pay overall, equity aside? Professionals in that role – who essentially oversee the sale of tech products to customers, be they consumers or other businesses – earn annual median compensation of $300,000. The next two highest-earning positions are in the business of overseeing the creation and upkeep of products: Senior Director of Engineering and Senior Director of Product Management. Some other high-paying jobs in the tech industry that are more focused on selling and marketing products than creating them are Regional Sales Director ($235,000), Enterprise Sales Director ($215,000), Sales Director ($210,000) and Vice President of Marketing ($208,000). In putting together the list of top-paying jobs, LinkedIn only considered job titles for which it had received 20 or more salary reports from verified LinkedIn members in the U.S. C-Suite jobs like chief executives, chief technology officers and chief intelligence officers were excluded.
