The UK's highest-paying graduate jobs in 2020

As we covered earlier this week, the UK's graduate job market in 2020 will be 3 percent larger than it was in 2019. The latest report by High Fliers Research also shows the sectors where graduates' average starting salaries are highest in the coming year. Firmly at the top of the list are fledgling investment bankers with a cool £50,000 straight out of the gate. Consultants are up next with just under £46,000, followed by those working in law on £45,000 per year.
