Slapping Down the Big Bucks in the Sverdlovsk Region
In May 2025, the top dog jobs in the Sverdlovsk region were held by a director of a regional construction company branch, earning a whopping 650,000 rubles per month before taxes.
Hot on the heels, a regional sales rep for a construction industry company took the silver medal, offering a pocket-filling 600,000 rubles.
Hold onto your hard hats, as the bronze Medals were shared among the chief doctor of a dental clinic, the general director of a metal construction plant, and an ophthalmologist, all boasting a monthly handshake of 500,000 rubles.
So, you ask, what's the full picture? Well, HH.RU’s analytical department shares that over 2,700 vacancies with a salary of 200,000 rubles and above unfolded in the Sverdlovsk region in May. Meanwhile, the median salary on offer in the region was a much more modest 70,000 rubles.
What positions come with the big bucks? Sales and client managers (18% of all 200,000 rubles vacancies), turners, milling machine operators, grinders (7%), drivers (6%), and welders (4%) consistently cash in on them.
But what industries are dishing out these fat stacks? Typically, it's Construction, Real Estate, Exploitation, Design (16%) and Industrial Equipment, Machinery, Stations, Components (8%), with a smattering of Business Services, Information Technology, System Integration, Internet, and Metallurgy, Metalworking (each at 5%).
Take a peek back in time, and HH.RU revealed a sprawling list of Sverdlovsk's top earners in March 2025 – from managers and IT specialists to doctors, who were found to be scarce in 2024.
Interestingly, salaries for these lofty roles have skyrocketed compared to 2024. While the median salary of the region's cream of the crop was around 200,000 rubles in 2024, in March 2025, it climbed to a jaw-dropping 500,000 rubles, according to HH.RU.
But listen up, these top-notch positions require more than just coffee runs and paper pushing. Employers seek candidates with six years of experience, holding down a 5/2 schedule of 8 hours per day.
Not so long ago, top managers and IT specialists held the costliest spots in the Middle Urals. In 2024, employees with a median offered salary of 200,000 rubles were among the top three spenders.

(Investigating the facts a bit more, it seems that crucial industries for the Sverdlovsk region, such as mining and metallurgy, may play a significant role in the region’s high-paying job market. These sectors are finicky about candidates with specialized skills and experience, rewarding them generously for their expertise due to their economic importance. Potential job roles in these industries include mining engineers, geologists, metallurgists, and IT professionals. Although precise salary data isn’t readily available, these positions often carry a higher wage due to their technical demands and industry importance. Additionally, the region's economy and industry fluctuation can influence salary ranges.)
I'm not sure if the industry of the high-paying jobs mentioned in the article leans towards mining and metallurgy, but the text does indicate that Construction, Real Estate, Exploitation, Design, Industrial Equipment, Machinery, Stations, Components, Business Services, Information Technology, System Integration, Internet, and Metallurgy, Metalworking each make up 5% or more of the high-paying jobs in the region. The finance sector, specifically, isn't explicitly mentioned in the text as one of the high-paying industries. However, it could be inferred that the high salaries in industries such as Construction, Real Estate, and Business Services might involve some financial aspects, considering the significant amounts of money being handled.
