It goes without saying that high-paying jobs are popular among job-seekers, but some jobs are more competitive than others.

According to Glassdoor senior data analyst Jyotsna Jayaraman, competition is high for jobs when there are more job seekers than open jobs.

To find these jobs, Glassdoor combed its database of job titles that received more than 1,000 searches over the past 30 days and have at least 1,000 active job openings.

The following jobs have the most competition, with dozens to several hundred job seekers for every one job opening. They each typically pay more than $100,000 a year, according to Glassdoor.
