>>> Much to my surprise, a month later I ran across him at GS - he had been hired for a salary well into six figures to head a 'tiger team' (meow!) on database performance. The suits apparently had no clue and confused activity with action. <<<

A couple of times I ran across this phenomenon and it turned out later that the guys were kicking back to management. Once, the guy was not only charging big money for no skills, he was charging at least a half dozen places at once. Of course he was a golden boy, untouchable.

I think professional credentials could do something about this. The law can't do anything. White collar crime and not big enough. Usually the 'victim' is a accessory. But professional boards could look into these things, if there was a meaningful license.

70 in NYC? That may be a king's ransom in some places, but in NYC, it's practically nothing, even for a programmer with no experience, I would suggest.
Newly minted JD's make upwards of 90, straight out of law school.
I don't know what rents are these days in Manhatten, but I'm sure they haven't gone down.
