150 might be the 90-95 percentile in some places, but it is absolutely not the ceiling. There are niches that pay above that if you're willing to acquire the skills needed to get those jobs. Machine Learning, big data, and cloud engineering are all niches that can get you close to $200k. Those jobs are not available in every city, but they're not exclusive to NY and SF.
The other path to higher salaries is specializing in a particular technology that enterprise companies pay handsomely for. Salesforce is one of those, as is Sharepoint.
