One reason to do so is because other employers behave that way and if your organization does NOT behave that way you will begin to lose your more experienced SysProgs to them (at their higher pay ranges). So your management will either have to go along with the trend or be in a continuous training mode. (Steve will love that idea!) As to why the salary differences by position: Consider which group answers the questions and which group asks them. You generally pay more to the guy with the answers. (That's a key premise behind consulting anyway. Right answers are usually worth more, but sometimes it is a function of presentation and not content so much. That is a key premise of marketing.) -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
