A company's executives are interested in seeing who earns the most money in each of the company's departments. A high earner in a department is an employee who has a salary in the top three unique salaries for that department.
\n\nWrite an SQL query to find the employees who are high earners in each of the departments.
\n\nReturn the result table in any order.
\n\nThe query result format is in the following example.
