Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

Being the chief executive officer of CalPERS, California's $223 billion investment fund, is a good job. If you can get it.

The spot is open and the state is recruiting via a high-end executive-search program.

What the job requires, according to the posting, is "executive leadership responsibility for an innovative organization with a staff of 2,300 and investment funds of $223 billion."

The compensation isn't too shabby, either.

"The annual base salary rate for the position is $224,000 - $336,000 (subject to negotiation), with the opportunity to earn an annual performance award of up to 40% of base salary," reads the job description.

As if that wasn't enough "a recruitment differential may be provided when hiring executives from outside state service. A competitive benefit package is also offered."

With the fallout on Wall Street, there should be plenty of available candidates. Quality candidates could be another matter entirely.
