there are no entries for king, professional footballer or has-been senior minister turned after dinner speaker.  

I tried to explain that higher up thread in relation to the footballers - "professional footballer" includes regional leagues where players barely cover their costs to attend right up to Premier League mega-earners.  The high number of players in the junior leagues brings the average right down. 

A similar thing would apply to after dinner speakers.  What category would they even appear under?  "Entertainer?"  Mixed in with all the jobbing musicians playing the Dog&Duck for the price of two pints of lager and a packet of crisps.

"King" is really most likely something the OP won't be able to aspire to.  Also, as a job, isn't "King" a voluntary role?

This is very likely the exact reason Glassdoor elected to use the median average of the mean average - to mitigate the very few on "only in my wildest dreams"-money skewing the figures.

This looks more accurate, lists jobs and averages at bottom

Anyone know if list on this website is accurate

Yeah, it's 100% accurate. I know 'cos Sultan123 said so.

HTH,

Lol if you have more accurate list plesse share

Lies, lies, damned lies and statistics. 

They are likely to all be "accurate" based on their data and their methodology. You can question who has the widest dataset but their methodology will always be obtuse. 

The reality is that job titles can have exceptionally wide spreads in salaries. A quick search on Monster shows the lowest full time job for a Project Manager right now being advertised is £25,000 whereas I've known some on £175,000 on a salaried basis  and £1,200 per day on a contract basis (so circa £290,000). 

As others have said CEO has a lower salary than some of their direct reports because any one man band company can say they are the CEO even if they earn below NMW. The same would be true for the COO etc but it's not such an aspirational title and so the title is more common in larger companies and therefore the salaries on average are higher.

As a statistician you could attempt to "correct" for these things but then you add ever more subjectivity to it. You could divide CEO between company sizes but its arbitrary where you decide to apply the boundaries.

It would naturally help if you say why you are wanting to know

The only reason for wanting to know is out of interest. There must be a fairly reliable list somewhere?

I highly doubt it, there are too many variables, region, private workers, public workers, years  of experience. The finances of the employer, their desire to invest in staff or themselves or the business. You also have no guarantee that the data supplied to create these lists and statistics are even accurate 

I work in the public sector, I am a LM for two people of the same grade, 1 civil servant the other external agency yet there is a  £12k delta between the their salaries for doing the exact same job. 

Guess agency paid more as not perm employee?

I guess there is not even a list which has decent estimates. As you correctly point out, too many variables.

It's certainly contentious! The fact is a high number of them are in post for 2 years, and can easily work within our organisation for years. Their benefits are also largely comparable to ours and they seemingly have a high degree of job security (for now at least).

You also have to factor in other benefits too, pension, flexi, hybrid, WFH, career progression training, share buying etc. Salary only tells part of a story.
