Debate: Would you take a pay cut to telecommute?
Telecommuting is hot amongst IT Professionals.
According to Ann Bednarz of Network World:
IT pros want to telecommute — so much so that more than one-third of those surveyed by Dice.com said they would take a pay cut for the chance to work full time from home.
In a survey conducted by the careers site, 35% of technology professionals said they would sacrifice up to 10% of their salaries for full-time telecommuting. The average tech pro was paid $79,384 last year, according to Dice’s annual salary survey, which means a 10% pay cut is equivalent to $7,900 on average.
Another 36% said no to the idea of a pay cut in exchange for teleworking — they want the same pay for the same work. Among the remainder of those surveyed, 20% are unemployed and would take any job, and 9% already telecommute. (Source: Would you take a pay cut to telecommute?)
