If you want to make a career move to a company that pays a better salary, this new study into average pay at UK companies should be useful.

Job website Glassdoor looked into average salaries in companies across Britain and found that the tech and finance industries are where it's at financially. (No surprises there, then).

According to The Mirror, Dr Andrew Chamberlain of Glassdoor said: "The big guns in tech and finance still dominate when it comes to large salaries in the UK.

"Bankers tend to get pretty hefty bonuses, since successful traders can bring huge company returns, and tech salaries tend to be high because of a shortage in specialist skills such as data science and software engineering."

In the top ten best-paying companies are tech giants Facebook - where the average salary including bonuses is £95,600 - and Microsoft (£81,010), as well as banks Deutsche Bank (£90,000) and Credit Suisse (£80,000).

The only non-tech or finance company to make the list is McKinsey Company, a global consultancy firm.
