As long as IT does not get Diluted with IT H1B, L1 visa folks, IT will pay decent salaries.
IT Consulting is becoming like Mexican Laborers.
Who ever works for less gets the Job.
No wonder American Companies like H1B. as they can make huge money out of these guys rather than the US citizens.

OBama or MCcain Government should tax companies heavily if they outsource to India.

Well if that's true, then either a) you work in a part of the country/world where the market just doesn't support higher salaries, b) you've undervalued yourself and your skillset, c) you're comfortable where you are and aren't looking to move on to bigger and better things.

Any which way you look at it though, if you have the skills listed in the article, and truly can function in those roles you are really undercutting yourself. There are companies willing to pay those salaries for that type of work, if you bring that level of value to the table.

Am I the only one thinking this is utter tripe especially in regards to the content/web workers? If you're talking about contract workers or some weird edge case like content managers for top 20 sites like BoingBoing.net then maaaaaybe. I'd love to be proven wrong though. The CTO/CIO/Architect stuff sounds fairly reasonable though, so who knows?

Not interesting? Most of these consist of the "I read this strategy in "Fortune", you guys go do it, I'm playing Golf today" type mentalities. I'm down with that.

:) The bell curve shows the range (the percentages are the same throughout) but the actual salary amounts vary from chart to chart.. It is interesting though.

Wow. All these positions salaries fall into perfectly shaped (and symmetrical!) gaussian distributions. Thats really really weird. This definitely warrants some kind of scientific study to find out what could possibly create such remarkable uniformity and symmetry.

I guess that depends on who your asking. To some people they sound like awesome jobs, to others no amount of money would make it interesting. That's what makes the world go 'round :)

The money is extraordinary but none of these jobs sound even remotely interesting.
