Optimistic interim managers see chance in recession
A new survey of around 10,000 Interim Managers shows that 70% feel that Interim Management is where they should be, in spite of the fact there are likely to be fewer assignments around, tougher competition for jobs and less pay.

new research in enduring discussion: who earns more?
Is the race over?
For years it seemed common knowledge that women earn less than men. But a report by CondeNast, citing research by Carnegie Mellon University shows some puzzling statistics. The report shows that at all levels in the corporate executive hierarchy -from Vice Presidents to CEO’s - women get paid slightly more than men, while getting promoted at the same rates.
Good news it seems, as it could mean gender no longer plays a role in earning. But that would be a too hasty conclusion, as these aggregate numbers hide the fact that female executives are more likely to quit their jobs earlier on in life. This means a higher proportion of men will be promoted at any given rank. And if wages go up with promotions, which they do, then men will get paid more than women on average. Read more
