The Glassdoor Job Score is determined by weighing three factors equally: earningpotential (median annual base salary), overall job satisfaction rating and number of job openings. Resultsrepresent job titles that rate highly among all three categories. The Glassdoor Job Score is based on a 5-pointscale (5.0=best job, 1.0=bad job). For a job title to be considered, it must receive at least 100 salary reports andat least 100 job satisfaction ratings shared by U.S.-based employees over the past year (1/2/17-1/1/18). Thenumber of job openings per job title represents active job listings on Glassdoor as of 1/1/18. This report takesinto account job title normalization that groups similar job titles.
