First of all, who is DALZALL RICHARD? I'm going to dispute whoever claimed that e-tail employees earn more than their counterparts at brick and mortar. The technical staff at a brick and mortar will not work as employees, no way. They will come in as consultants through PW or some other firm, or as independents with rates at $150/hr and up. I know from first hand experience that the dot coms don't hire these consultants, instead they pay a salary of about, oh, 80-90K + stock for the same level staff that is 200$/hr at an established firm. Now in the case of amzn with their stock appreciation of course the amzn employees are making much more than the consultants would at B&N. But in general at all the other moderate dot coms the compensation is about the same. You won't see the PW consultants on B&N's payroll ether.
