If you're thinking of a career change or looking for a higher pay packet, these are the jobs you should be looking out for.
A salary survey from recruitment company Robert Walters released last week has linked a resources boom and the banking royal commission to a potential boost in wage growth.
And it's good news for many industries across Australia with wage packets expected to soar nearly 30 per cent in some cases.
Developers in Queensland could rake in 30 per cent more, bringing their salary up to $125,000.

Project engineers in Western Australia could enjoy the same uptick with a salary set at $120,000.
Robert Walters NSW managing director Andrew Hanson said investment in infrastructure would accelerate the growth in the mining industry.
Market risk analysts in NSW would get a slightly less increase of 25 per cent, though have a standing salary at a whopping $140,000.
Mr Hanson said market risk professionals were highly valued considering the complex economic issues of the times.
'There’s some big macroeconomic factors that are making the market jittery – China, Trump, Brexit.
'Organisations are placing important on people who can map out what will happen.'

While nurses and health workers missed out this time around, they are tipped to be the next in line for wage growth come 2025.
Mr Hanson said an ageing population would help nudge the figures upwards.
Training and education employees like primary school teachers will also benefit from the rise.
Robert Half Australia director Nicole Gortan also predicted a change in the Australian workforce, with expectations one-third of the industry will be comprised of contractors in five years.
Wages in turn would grow for niche jobs.
'When they gain niche technical or industry skills, they become highly sought after and there is a peak in their salary demand,' she said.
