I'm guessing you're not in the UK market, because you would know the reason why you're going to give me more responsibility and pay me more before having to prove it to you: Someone else will give me that responsibility and pay me more and it'll probably take me a week to find them. I'm not talking about me specifically, but that's how most IT profiles go around here. Some areas more than others, but there's too much demand for talent that the market can't absorb it, hence the prices go up.
