Add DISTINCT to your query (in case multiple people have the same highest salary), and join it like this:

select org.* from org
join (select distinct salary from org order by salary desc limit(1,1)) org_salary
  on org.salary = org_salary.salary

LIMIT is not supported inside an IN () subquery. This will error.
That answer doesn't use an IN() subquery, it uses a joined subquery where LIMIT does work.
just curious to know is there any other way..?
@user - sure, you could do it with two queries instead (one to get the salary, another to get all the employees with that salary) but not sure why you would want to.
k in case if i use two queries.. how to give where condition?
