Glassdoor best jobs ranking puts risk manager in bottom third

At least they made the list.

Glassdoor Inc., a website that allows employees to anonymously post information about their employer, this month released its “50 Best Jobs in America” report, identifying specific jobs with the highest overall “Glassdoor Job Score.”

The report weighs three factors equally: earning potential, or median annual base salary; overall job satisfaction rated from 1 to 5; and number of job openings.

Risk manager came in at No. 35, with an average salary of $100,500, a score of 3.7 out of 5 in job satisfaction; and boasting 3,924 openings as of early January.

The top three jobs listed were data scientist, nursing manager and marketing manager. At the bottom were systems administrator, software development manager and brand manager.

For a job title to be considered, it must receive at least 100 salary reports and at least 100 job satisfaction ratings shared by U.S.-based employees over the past year, Glassdoor says.

Claims manager and insurance broker did not make the list. Neither did journalist.
