Is HR a High Paying Job?
The earning potential for HR and HR Recruitment professionals in the UK can vary depending on factors such as their level of experience, their level of education, the size of the organisation they work for, and the specific role they hold within the HR department.
In general, HR professionals in management and executive roles tend to have higher earning potential than those in entry-level or administrative roles. According to the Office for National Statistics, the median annual salary for human resources managers was around £47,000 in 2020. The median annual salary for human resources specialists was around £29,000 in the same period.
It’s also worth noting that certain industries tend to pay more than others. For example, HR professionals working in the financial or technology industries may earn more than those in other industries. In addition, location also plays a role in determining earning potential, as salaries tend to be higher in larger cities or regions with a higher cost of living.
Overall, while being an HR professional can be financially rewarding, it is not considered as one of the high paying jobs compared to other jobs such as doctors, lawyers, or engineers.
