Some of the best-paying marketing jobs are in banking and finance

If you're just starting out in marketing, you could do a lot worse than getting into the finance sector - after new research suggested it pays junior marketing types better than any other industry.

The research, by salary benchmarking site Emolument, found junior marketing professionals earn an average salary of £37,000 at banking and financial services firms, along with a £2,000 bonus. That's followed by the energy, chemicals and environmental sector, where they'll start out on £31,500 (no bonus, though) - and insurance, which pays £30,000 to juniors.
