With the credit crunch in full swing, finding a new job will be the last thing on many people’s minds, but at the front of many others. Luckily, if you are looking for IT jobs the sector has not been hit so badly, and speculators are claiming that some aspects of the industry (such as digital marketing) are set to benefit from the economic downturn. Out of interest, I decided to do a bit of research into the best paid IT jobs available today in and around London, and although the job roles might include some extra duties beyond rebooting dusty PCs, I thought they would make for interesting reading.

Top of the list is Director of Insurance IT Effectiveness at PricewaterhouseCoopers based in the city. It’s certainly a big goal to aim for, but if the “competitive” salary doesn’t entice you to aim high, then may be the fact that the company is regarded as one of the best places to work in the UK by many (e.g. The Times) will. The company was founded as far back as 1849 and has since grown into one of the world’s biggest professional services companies. A job at PwC will put you alongside over 140,000 people worldwide.

Second on the list is by JJ Fox. The UK-wide recruitment agency are on the search for a Quantitative Analyst with an advertised salary at somewhere between £60,000 and £130,000 per annum. This opening is in London, and involves taking an in-house statistics and maths test. A background in financial data will serve you well here, as well as being able to demonstrate a range of programming skills.

The third opening is advertised by the sales recruitment company Robertson and Sumner, and concerns an unnamed IT Vendor. This is a directorial job, hence the £80,000 - £100,000 salary tag, and so is more suitable for someone with an IT background considering a slight change in duty. The company aims to optimise communication and interaction between customers and employees. Alongside obligatory industry knowledge, the job also demands experience in team operation, client communication, and budgeting.

The last high-paid IT job to aspire for in this time of economic crisis is on offer from another recruitment agency, Senitor. This is perhaps more humble at £30,000 per annum, but for a PHP Web Developer with two years experience the offer looks fairly tempting. Experience in SEO, CSS, XHTML, and other web orientated skills will serve you well to join this ‘new media’ company in this ‘new media’ age. Those eager for hands-on website building in the capital should certainly apply.
