You might check some of the surveys that HR departments would consult for salary "market" such as the HEITS survey (or whatever they use there). But I don't think you'll find "God" listed there... James Moore wrote:
My job responsibilities have shifted. I started the information security program here, but now I lead computer incident response and investigations. HR is going to be given the task of rebanding me. My manager wants to make sure that they compare apples to apples. He appreciates that I have a BS, 31 years of experience spread among the fields of Software engineering (7 years), Systems administration (10 years), and Information security (14 years). I am able to work with systems administrators in live investigations because I was one. I am able to work with vendors to improve products (which will in turn make incident response more effective) because I have the background in information security program development, and understand process, communication, and management methods. I am starting to do some tool development where there are gaps. I have a CISSP. I am working on an EnCE, and may also go for a GCIH. My manager's objective is to get a title that HR could survey and place me with people of a similar level of experience.
