$200k in Silicon Valley != $200k in a small east coast market. Hell, it doesn't even compare to the DC Metro area.
From talking to friends and family that live out there, plus a few folks who used to live in the Bay Area, someone earning $120k here would have to earn at least $200k out there to get the same standard of living.

So are people flocking to the DC area to work as software engineers, then? If so, good job. If not, you know what you have to do. > to get the same standard of living. That highly, highly depends on what you spend your money on.
