Getting promoted to CIO is one of the pinnacles of an IT career. You get good pay, you manage an entire organization's IT operations, you lead and train an entire group of IT professionals, you're part of the executive board of that organization, and so on.
Tapos aayawan niya kasi liliit market niya? Bakit iniisip niya na kagad na aalis siya? Does he not have the confidence in himself and in the organization to stay for a good number of years?
Of course the market is smaller for CIOs compared to managers and supervisors. It's a corporate pyramid. Palipat lipat man siyang manager, manager lang siya. Hindi siya CIO. Eto na yung chance niya maging CIO, ayaw niya pa.
Btw, I don't agree that it's a dead end. My tito was promoted CEO of a small local company around a decade ago. You'd think that's the dead end of his corporate career, but he's been able to find 3 other CEO jobs afterwards (his job-hopping is another topic altogether, but my point is there are many companies looking for top level execs).
So if your friend is really CIO calibre, he can always find another job elsewhere. His line of thinking right now is actually making me think that he probably doesn't have what it takes to be CIO that's why he's chickening out of it before he even tried the interview process.
