New Car, Caviar, Four-star Daydream

In perusing articles for a Succession Planning workshop that we're developing, I came across the following quote in Business Week (“An Executive Recruiter's New Strategy,” January 16, 2009) regarding how Heidrick & Struggles is evolving from executive search services to heightened leadership advisory services.

“When it really [hits home] is when you look at all of these technologies today that can potentially disintermediate a search firm. Not at the high-end CEO and board level, but what's going to happen at the lower echelon of search -- in the $300,000 salary range -- with the advent of companies like LinkedIn?”

Wait. $300K is considered the low echelon? I need a raise.
