Could this be market supply/demand? That banks in NYC are paying more for developers and less for site-ops (similar reasons mentioned elsewhere on cost vs profit center) and to hire and retain these folks, they need to pay accordingly. In this sense, it's the career interest in Siteops that lowers their pay, despite the skills. This happens in the real world a lot. Two people major in Mathematics. One has an additional education certification and goes to teach in a school. The other gets an IT job at the same school. The guy with the IT job gets paid more. (You could insert social work, music, or any of a dozen other underpaid fields)
