Typically we see engineers cap out around $225K. But admins head closer to $500K.
I am making much less then that as an engineer. You have opened my eyes. Do you have some links you could share of jobs in that salary range?
Yeah. I'm only about $435K away from max as an administrator

And how many of those jobs are real? Granted - this is a payscale site, not a job listing site.. but fake job listings still exist.

Where?
You can easily get in the $200-250k range but to get above that you pretty much got to go into the research science, supercomputer/computer science kind of stuff IMO.

I don't know though, the way it's been explained, it just seems like a glorified helpdesk role in a way. But I guess for the money, why not.

Scott was the CIO or a step or so below or to the side of that making that much or more on wallstreet. So sure, it's possible, but again, just super rare.

I think a huge part of this pay is also where you live.
Some company is now looking to allow their employees to WFH, from almost anywhere, but they are going to crush your pay based upon where you choose to live. We talked about it here a few days ago.

CIO isn't a Systems Admin or Engineer. CIO is just a policy maker. Ours Makes way more than $500k as does any of our executive leadership.

If you ask Scott, he'll tell you that the CIO is the basically the ultimate IT Admin. I believe he also calls them IT Generalists.

I'm not sure if Citi is the same as Wallstreet or not?

Maybe in a company with less than 50 people.

In these days in a SMB, what's the difference between an System Admin and a IT Director? Because its hard for me to believe that a System Admin or whatever random title you were giving would making a $200K and up.

There's a big difference. an IT director Manages people, specifically, a Director manages managers and/or supervisors. The CIO is at the top of the chain(an executive), they do very little day to day managing of people, usually go to the board and shareholder meetings set policies etc. an Admin is working on the systems/network.
If an SMB is using those titles interchangeably they are using the titles wrong.

Only larger SMBs are likely to have the head IT/CIO/IT Director - whatever - making $200K+

In an SMB, one typically wears many hats.
I personally dropped IT Director (what my boss calls me) to IT admin. While I advise what to buy, I haven't been the one making the decisions, though I suppose my opinion does weigh heavily...

So lets say that's there is only two IT in the company. An System Admin and IT Director. The IT Director quits. Are you still an System Admin? Will you be getting paid more?

They aren't an IT director, maybe that's what they are calling them but it's an IT manager or IT Supervisor if all they have under them is a Systems Administrator.
