E-people get the balance right

Senior e-people are better placed than any other professionals to achieve a
comfortable balance between quality of life and a high income, according to the
latest E-People Report from the Hay Group. It reveals that unlike conventional
business – which pays more for London-based staff, chief execs, heads of
e-commerce and directors of strategy – technology and marketing earn an average
of 14 per cent more when based in the regions rather than the capital.
"Senior e-people are in an exceptional position relative to other senior
professionals. They can move out of London in pursuit of quality of life and
receive a pay rise at the same time – a rather more alluring prospect than the
irksome pay cut usually associated with a move to the provinces," says
Mark Thompson, a consultant at the Hay Group.  www.haygroup.com
