[quote=Anonymous]I'm a search recruiter and corporate recruiter (now).  Here's how you find the jobs that pay:

Sales.  Regional Vice President and above.

Unless you are in C executive suite (ie CIO, SVP, EVP, CFO, etc), if you work in a consulting company and not a sales person, the money is in business development. You have to be able to bring in clients whether you work in law (Partner track), consulting (Managing Director) or corporate (consulting VP and above).

Tech - either go 1099 and specialize in a technology ie LINUX sys admin, AWS Cloud, JAVA coder, etc.  Unless you are a LINUX sys admin or have deep network security ability, your average Ops network admin is not where the money is.  Working for University also isn't going to help $$ - go start up or contract for commercial sector.

Marketing - social media gurus, people who have a direct marketing background who also know how to leverage social media via analytics can do really well.  Again, 1099 contract is a good vehicle for marketeers.

Finance - Tax makes a lot.  Corporate Finance or CPA good.  All around Finance/Accounting is great.  Always has been always will.

I don't do healthcare/pharma industries but as a generalist recruiter, having worked in fed, non profit and commercial sectors, the money is definitely in commercial.  Consulting is always good and I don't just mean Accenture or Big 4.  Industry is very important in determining how much an offer you will get.  If you work for a company that isn't going to go big budget, you can't expect $$$ offer.
