I'm not saying I don't agree with paying more, I'm just noting that it's not likely to happen. For the same reason that someone who is a lawyer can be Prime Minister, and only make ~$250K running an entire country, or go private and make millions as a top lawyer. Same deal here in Canada. The best that recent CIO of Canada did was bump his pay to a Deputy Minister level, still around the $200K CDN mark. He (Alex Benay) left after 2 years on the job. Also, this job's true description, is convincing people entrenched in the old ways, to convert. That's it. Forget about everything else. At this level, you are not technical, you are trying to sell value to higher ups. Some of these folks are not technical at all, and you will hit roadblocks.
