you're not very familiar with the civil service's pay system.

For senior management who are MXes, most will be MX9, a handful of MX8s (senior directors) and much much fewer MX7s (also senior directors). Usually no one is 6 (DS grade) and above. Those numbers are more for admin officers (DS, PS and senior PSes, etc, A0 6-8 for DSes, 1-5 for PSes). I know of some in the intel service who can hit very high grades like 5-6. Still, very rare.

I actually think MXes are overpaid. An MX11 can hit ard 7k+. MX10 ard 11k. Many civil servants can reach these grades. These are risk free rates. Take a look outside where there is job insecurity. How many people do you honestly think can earn such pay? Yes, the bankers, etc can definite reach much higher pay, but your average graduate who is a corporate worker? engineer? Most are likely to be stuck at ard 5-6k.
