According to new research, Leeds is the place with the best-paying jobs outside of London, followed by Cambridge, Bristol and Manchester.
A new study of postcode areas with the highest advertised salaries has revealed Leeds as the top-paying region outside of London, according to an analysis of more than 1m jobs conducted by the jobs site Adzuna.
With an average salary of £37,800, Leeds beats 'Silicon Fen' city of Cambridge, where advertised salaries average £37,692.
Leeds also tops Bristol with an average of £37,281 and Manchester that averages a salary of £36,690.
Unsurprisingly east central London, home to the bustling financial district, the City – also known as the Square Mile – is the highest-paid postcode area across the UK, with advertised salaries topping an average of £56,497.

Over in south-west England, Torquay in Devon and Dorchester in Dorset, are also among the 10 lowest-paid postcodes.
The lowest-paid postcode area is in the Outer Hebrides, seeing average salaries of £17,428, followed by Telford and Lerwick in Shetland.
Andrew Hunter, co-founder of Adzuna, said: “Jobseeking doesn’t need to be a postcode lottery. Those looking for lucrative work could start by searching in postcode areas with higher average pay cheques and our data shows areas like Leeds and Manchester are great options.
“It can pay to look a little further afield when considering a new role, even if you don’t want to move location. For remote workers, focusing the job search on areas at the top of the salary charts could help you bag a pay rise, while considering a commute could mean a salary lift for those working in the office.
Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you may not be clued up on the whole acai bowl trend that has been sweeping up the nation.
Acai is a super berry grown and harvested in the Amazon rainforest, and not only is it absolutely delicious but it has a myriad of health benefits.
Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.

So, what can we expect from this aesthetically-pleasing and ultra trendy female-owned business? Well, loaded acai bowls that look almost too good to eat, superfood smoothies, coffees, matcha and savoury options like avocado toast.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Acai and the Tribe said: "You asked, we listened. LEEDS… your new lifestyle arrives soon."
They will be opening on 88 Vicar Lane as part of the Vicar Lane regeneration scheme, which has already scene some great new restaurants being announced such as Sticks'n'Sushi and Dishoom.
It seems like this part of town is suddenly going to be the place to be, and we're very happy to see it.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more but for now, you can find out more about Acai and the Tribe here.

Known for making sauna and ice feel more accessible, welcoming and community-driven, Kontrast has grown beyond regular sessions to become a base for recurring events. These include their live ambient DJ set event, Unwind, which celebrates local talent, and their weekly run club, both of which the team hopes to bring to Leeds as part of building a similar sense of community in the city.
The Leeds site builds on everything the team has learned from Kontrast in Manchester.
Alongside the core sauna, Ice, cafe offering, the new site will include improved facilities, more spacious sauna provision and additional ice baths meaning more room for people to get involved.
