Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI do not find this to be the case. My income is considerably higher than when I was head of development at a very large multinational in the early years of 200n. With the added bonus of no politics, more holiday and more flexible working. Back in the late 90s, I was often taking more home than directors.
