I know public service roles are salary capped, but it's distressing to me that the CIO of the FBI will be making only "$131,239 to $192,180" which is less than even a medium-sized tech company executive would make. This person would be the front line of security defense for our top law enforcement agency and the enemies of that agency have billions of dollars of funding. It just seems like we should be paying for the talent we actually need at that level.

You don't go there for the money, nobody does. You work hard for a few years,make connections, get experience and jump ship to private sector that'll compensate for all those years of underpayment.

This makes no sense to me.

The clear answer is that is unfair for our system to pay critical employees so poorly.

The federal sector can't compete with the private sector on value fulfillment - and that is a major problem, not a feature.
