Newton is part of the region's growing technology sector. Newton's job assignment changes a lot. He recently completed a World Wide Web site that lets customers register domain names online. Newton's work requires both diplomatic and technical acumen. But the upsides are many, beginning with compensation.
Newton is paid well.
Last month, he cashed in a block of options and bought his first home, a white brick Colonial where he lives with his wife, cat and four computers. He's exaggerating, but the point is clear. Still, Newton spends much of his time at the office, typically 11 hours to 14 hours a day. This includes an against-traffic commute in his 1994 Saturn. Despite the long hours, life is good.
