Dentist, Software Architect, iOS Developer, CFO… The newspaper got their hands on the select club of 10 jobs paying more than $100,000 per year posted in Quebec.
In the first place, we find the profession of dentist with an average salary of more than $155,344, according to data compiled by Indeed for The newspaper.
“The studies were very difficult, but it’s a little five years of your life,” says Carol Esper, a 26-year-old dentist who has been practicing the profession for four months.
In addition to earning a good living, the young dentist likes the profession for her stable schedule, which allows her to exercise a low-stress profession, according to her.
“I have three dentist uncles. I have maybe four or five dentist cousins too, so I’ve really been exposed to dentists,” says the one who works at the Cartier Dental Clinic, which is owned by dentist Nasim Attaran.
A week ago, the 2022 Employment Report of the Institut du Québec indicated that between December 2019 and December 2022, job creation was marked in “full-time and well-paid” positions.
It was pointed out in particular that workers who earn $30 an hour or more are those who have benefited the most (+531,900; +43%).
“In contrast, the largest job losses were recorded among workers paid $20 an hour and less (-465,500, -40%) over the period from December 2021 to December 2022,” it noted.
Reign of the techs
However, what emerges from Indeed’s list of the 10 highest-paying posted jobs in Quebec is that 70% of positions relate to technology.
Data Engineer, Software Engineer, iOS Developer (See table)… explosive demand continues to heat up the job search site.
“Despite the bad news of job cuts in the United States, there are a lot of companies here that need talent,” observes Stepan Arman, senior director of sales, Quebec, at Indeed.
“It remains a sector eternally in short supply,” he underlines.
According to Jérôme Côté, CHRP, partner at Normandin Beaudry, the proliferation of applications of all kinds since the pandemic has boosted demand.
“There are candidates who go out on their own to offer their skills to the highest bidder. They can charge $100 or $200 per hour. It leaves a lot more in their pockets,” he says.

In the select club of 10 popular jobs, we also find that of director of finance, which is not surprising Komlan Sedzro, dean of the School of Management Sciences (ESG) at UQAM.
“There is a need in all areas,” he says. Climate finance, sustainable finance… the profession is opening up, he shares.
In addition, advertised trades also offer attractive salaries, such as specialized mechanics at nearly $115,000 per year or service truck electricians at up to $86 an hour.
Massage therapist positions that can reach $69 per hour are also posted on Indeed. With a college diploma (DEC) in hand, controller positions at $100,000 or more are also available.
