Comment It's because techs have to make less than mgmt (Score 1) 520
2 huge problems I've come across: 1) bias against older workers. Not me personally (not THAT old, yet) but I have seen it. 2) stupid company rules that caps pay so you can never make more than your manager. This is so short-sided. Companies want Bill Joy to come write Java for them but he can't be paid more than his 1st level, running-out-the-clock, nice-guy-but-hangs-out-at-the-water-cooler-all-day manager. Yeah right.
I could never be hired at the site I contract/temp for now because I probably make $10k more than the guy I work for. So they are paying probably double what they could get me for to my company/pimp. Insane.
In summary: there is a shortage of younger, experienced IT workers willing to make less than 1st level managers.
