Report Shows Willingness to Take a Pay Cut to Work from Home
May 12, 2011
Dice, “the career hub for tech™”, has come out with a report titled Remote Control.
In this report they say “Less than one percent or 500 of the total jobs posted on Dice mention telecommuting as an option. Yet, more than one-third of technology professionals said they’d cut their salary by up to 10 percent in exchange for telecommuting full-time. What’s remarkable is that even after two years of flattish compensation, technology professionals are
willing to sacrifice $7,800 on average to work from home.

Would you take a 10% pay cut to work full time from home?

[...] Things are growing in this area. Companies are implementing telecommuting strategies, employing flexible work schedules, and sharing flexible work spaces. There’s even evidence that people are willing to take a pay cut to have the option of working at home. [...]
A study we conducted about 5 years ago showed the average full time teleworker could save over $8,000 per year – TAKE HOME – compared to working full time in the office.
That’s a pretty good raise and could offset a pay cut.
Thank you.
We are still learning as things are always changing.
Good idea. Can be considered a learned thing, ok.
Some genuinely interesting details you have written.Helped me a lot, just what I was searching for : D.
Well, I cannot agree more. It is atucally make sense. It is worth it to discuss
from a website design in Kentucky, Thanks thats a bunch of information you have!
I’m not really certain if I’m submitting this in the appropriate location, however I am getting ready to move to the United States and am attempting to secure jobs in the technology field. I have a job lead with a organization (LTJ Management, LLC, 900 Congress Ave, Suite L-150, Austin, TX 78701 (512) 895-9500) and wanted some thoughts on the best way to study them to see if they might be a great organization to work for. I’ve looked on their website, but believed someone here might have a few other ideas on exactly where to look. Thank you.
We’re probably not the best ones to advise on this as we work with organizations that have or are looking to establish telework or mobile work programs.
You might want to check with the Austin Chamber of Commerce or the Better Business Bureau. Good Luck.
