The average daily rate for interim IT managers has shot up by £100 ($196) a day over the past two years, putting IT managers near the top of the pay league, new research has revealed.

A survey of nearly 1,300 interim managers and more than 100 companies by interim recruitment specialist Praxis Executive found that average daily rates for interim managers hit £685 in 2006.  Pay rates for interim IT managers put them in third place, behind only "turnaround" specialists, hired to drag beleaguered businesses out of the mire, and interim chief executives.

IT managers were paid at the same rate as interim finance managers and more than specialists in project and program management, HR, and sales and marketing.
