Dollars and Sense

Not yet jaded, Im still in awe of what any desk potato (spud cousin to the couch kind) can find on the Web. Virtually (no pun intended) everything is out thereincluding the lowdown on that often-sensitive subject of money.

For example, just for kicks, I recently visited sites that offer compensation information. I clicked on the CIO title and, for location, chose New York, figuring that might represent the higher end of the pay scale. Some sites offered more customized information for a fee. Those with free feedback usually stuck to generic data based on their own survey information. Tech job site Dice.com indicated the mean salary for 26 respondents who are full-time members of IT management (defined as CEO, CIO, CTO, VP, or director) with one year of experience is $107,423. With 15 years experience, the figure given for the one and only respondent went up to $180,000. By contrast, Salary.com reported the median expected base-pay salary for a typical chief information technology officer in New York is $210,616. Compare these numbers with some that are more insurance specific in the cover feature, Payment Due, p. 12.
