When we think of good salaries, we think of positions that aren’t accessible to everyone. However, after the Covid-19 pandemic, several “ordinary” positions in Ireland are paying high salaries. Check out the great paying jobs in Ireland that are within your reach.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, many Irish people have changed professions. In fact, most of these people started their own business and decided not to return to their old job. As a result, demand for some positions dropped dramatically.
Thus, naturally, the salary or fees for some positions rose significantly during this period, following the logic of supply and demand in the labor market, creating new opportunities.
If you are looking for a job, or thinking about changing jobs, here are some viable options for you to earn well in Ireland.
