I know it's a millennial thing to be inefficient and out of touch intentionally. but outside of "failure culture" it's always been ubiquitous.
Funny and sad but true!
Could it be some kind of student mindset that keeps lingering in their brains, even 10 years after they left school?

I don't work for a tech giant, but I'm hoping where I am now will be more willing to allow work from home, especially since it's clear other than resolving hardware issues, people on my team have been 100% work from home since mid-March and work is getting done.

Typically we see engineers cap out around $225K. But admins head closer to $500K.
I am making much less then that as an engineer. You have opened my eyes. Do you have some links you could share of jobs in that salary range?

yeah, these crazy numbers Scott loves to show, super rare positions - rare doesn't meant there aren't still hundreds, or even thousands of them at that range, but compared to the millions of IT jobs, they are still super rare.

You can pretty much set your own Pay right now in IT, the problem is you won't find those jobs in SMBs and a lot of people will not jump away from SMBs even though SMBs don't usually value IT the jobs (along with the fact they tend to underpay in general) tend to be much easier and less complex. You get to Large Enterprises and there is a lot more work & more stress.

https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Systems_Engineer/SalaryYou'll notice the Avg is dilotued big time by lots of entry level jobs rather than more experienced.

And how many of those jobs are real? Granted - this is a payscale site, not a job listing site.. but fake job listings still exist.

Where?
You can easily get in the $200-250k range but to get above that you pretty much got to go into the research science, supercomputer/computer science kind of stuff IMO.

I don't know though, the way it's been explained, it just seems like a glorified helpdesk role in a way. But I guess for the money, why not.

Scott was the CIO or a step or so below or to the side of that making that much or more on wallstreet. So sure, it's possible, but again, just super rare.

I think a huge part of this pay is also where you live.
Some company is now looking to allow their employees to WFH, from almost anywhere, but they are going to crush your pay based upon where you choose to live. We talked about it here a few days ago.

CIO isn't a Systems Admin or Engineer. CIO is just a policy maker. Ours Makes way more than $500k as does any of our executive leadership.

If you ask Scott, he'll tell you that the CIO is the basically the ultimate IT Admin. I believe he also calls them IT Generalists.

I'm not sure if Citi is the same as Wallstreet or not?

Maybe in a company with less than 50 people.
