I am curious as to how the government expects MI6 to attract a world-class enterprise architect when its web site shows that it is paying below the market rate for such a job (MI6 holds IT staff recruitment drive).

MI6 is offering a salary range of £56,000 to £79,000, while the market salary, according to IT Jobs Watch, is £70,000 to £86,000.

I now see why the government suffers security lapses when, even for what are probably the most critical jobs in the world, it consistently fails to offer salaries which could attract the cream of the industry. I
hate to see what salaries it offers technology staff who work in other parts of government.
