Honestly it's a lesson I've taken in my career so far - those who are closest to the money flows get to siphon off the most for themselves. I'm by no means that close, but it certainly informs what I put myself forward for.

Does the difference in skill, effort and output justify it? No, and many of the people working close to the money are no better (or are often far worse) than people further away, being paid less. But people are willing to pay them more, because they are also close to the larger flows of money.
