Hi @tunde1234

High salary can count, but only in some specific ways and it’s important to note that it’s not sufficient on its own. Going by the TN guidance they’re very clear that

  1. Salary alone is not sufficient
  2. You must show impact beyond your day‑to‑day work, even if you earn high.
  3. And if you’re using business evidence, the company must earn more than just enough to pay your salary

So if your salary is only considered high relative to your region, it still counts, but only if it’s backed by strong proof of impact evidence. In short, salary can complement other evidence but it’s never the deciding factor, because it’s dependent on strong, clear evidence of impact.

All the best.
