There are plenty of $100K-plus jobs for managers across a range of professions, and many of them are not even advertised. The key to success in landing one of these positions is to have a clear and long-term career strategy which will prepare you for these positions and ultimately open new and better professional doors for you.

To be offered $100K manager jobs, you will not only need high-level management qualifications and experience, you will usually need a second qualification along with requisite experience in your area of specialty. For example, a chief technical officer position is a management role which requires a great deal of technical expertise. Ideally, your management qualifications will be at a master's degree such as an MBA, and your technical or specialist qualifications should be at least a bachelor's degree in the appropriate discipline.

It can pay to get professional guidance in managing your career if you wish to move from a lower paying management job to being seriously considered for $100K-plus jobs. A career management expert, especially one experienced in top-level executive recruitment, can help you create and implement a career strategy which will help you move from where you are now to where you want to be.



Read the job descriptions and selection criteria of advertised positions to give you an idea of where you might have academic or experiential gaps you need to fill in. If you feel that you already meet these criteria, write your resume so that it makes it clear to employers that you have the qualifications and experience for the sort of $100K manager jobs you want.

You can always locate high-paying management positions online. There are specialist job sites which only focus on executive positions and provide an opportunity for employers to recruit from profiles and uploaded resumes, in addition to allowing job seekers to apply for advertised jobs. These sites also tend to have informative articles giving advice on how to achieve your career goals. These tips-and-tricks-type articles can sometimes give you a light bulb moment that allows you to increase your effectiveness and improve your chances of getting the sort of executive position and salary you are seeking.

Even the larger online job sites advertise $100K manager jobs, so don't ignore them; they may be advertising just the job for you. You can search these sites by category and location, as well as by salary. This is a very quick way to find the jobs you're looking for. You can request an email alert to let you know whenever a new job that fits your specifications becomes available. By having information about suitable jobs come straight to your in-box, you can save hours of Internet search time.

Executive recruitment companies often recruit for $100K-plus jobs, so it's worth contacting those that are within reasonable travelling distance. And don't let a no stop you. Just because they may not have a suitable position at the moment, that doesn't mean they won't have one tomorrow. Furthermore, if you have a meeting with a recruitment professional, you may well inspire them to make some calls on your behalf. Many jobs are not even advertised, and many opportunities come through word of mouth and one person advocating on behalf of another.

If there are organizations you would particularly like to work for, check out their websites and see if they are advertising for any appropriate executive positions. You can also contact them directly and express interest in working for them should a suitable position arise.

It is important to network in order to maximize your employment opportunities at an executive level. Take full advantage of every position you hold to build relationships with colleagues, clients, suppliers, and others; you never know who will be in a position to recommend you for a high-paying position down the track. Get involved with local business associations and attend meetings, breakfasts, and other events to get to know local professionals and business people.

Set reasonable career goals. Whether it is logical and fair or flat out unfair, your current salary will usually influence your next salary. If you are running the whole show but are only being paid peanuts, you will be unlikely to be considered for jobs for $100K and over. This is because employers tend to evaluate your worth to another employer by the salary they are paying you. It is therefore vital that you do not stay in low-paying positions. Your career strategy should not only include the types of positions you want to hold but also the salary you need to earn in order to be taken seriously the next time you look for work. It may seem worth a cut in salary in order to gain experience, and sometimes this is the case; however, in the long run the salary you are paid is equally important.

By carefully managing your career and planning ahead, you will be able to establish a clear career pathway into $100K-plus jobs. The people who work in $100K manager jobs are not necessarily more deserving than those who work in management positions which pay a lot less. They have simply planned and prepared more effectively — and you can be one of them.
