I find it interesting that the lowest paid person is the CTO. (Director of Sales will make more because of bonuses).

- jwillgoesfast 14y agoI thought the same thing (with a gasp as a CTO myself :)) But I'm going to assume this article references companies where the Technology department is more of a cost center than primary operations. For example a SaaS company that basically just has sales/marketing and technology/operations, the CTO is also acting as the COO, so I think you could attribute the COO salary to that of the CTO in a SaaS or high-tech startup.
- ttrreeww 14y agoDevelopers/CTO tend not to ask for high salaries. Hence they get paid less. (Then they broke and go insane from the perceived injustice, see that other article recently...)
- obviouslygreen 14y agoThanks for that explanation. I was wondering where my future was heading.
