Personally I bring in around $400k/year working remotely in a low COL area. That being said if I was working on the local market I'd probably be making somewhere between $120k - $150k.

What on earth do you do for $400k/year? Make moon rockets in your garage or something?

  What's funny is that if he did, that would be a low-demand expertise with a lot of willing suppliers so he probably would be making closer to $40k/year.

  Nowadays, this might not be true. 10 years ago, I hired Oracle dbas (not many, mind you) at hourly wages of 300K+ (edit: yes, they worked 40hrs/wk at least)

    You can't possibly mean 300,000$ per hour with 300k+..

      OP certainly means an hourly wage that added up to 300k per year.

  I wish. Sadly that's an example of a prestige job that wouldn't necessarily pay the max. If you're making $400k as an IC w-2 employee you are probably working for one of a few well known companies in a small number of industries like ecommerce, ad-tech, or fin-tech. Basically I make fastish web servers. Turns out when your company makes billions of dollars small efficiency gains pay off.
