I think most of the $100k/year jobs are outliers and indicators of hiring in Silicon Valley/San Francisco. I went to Origin Code Academy in San Diego and it was $12k for 3 months. They let you know that you'll be considered a jr developer even if you have some prior experience. Jr decs get around $60-65k in San Diego. Some of the graduates from my cohort who have been hired are in the high 50s, though that's a probationary salary for 90 days. I have an offer of $80k and am waiting for a comparable one but I only have these higher numbers because of a year and a half prior experience as a LAMP stack developer.
