This is at Silicon Valley/software companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Facebook, etc. Most developers will be above 150k-200k there, especially accounting for bonuses and stock which are considered as part of compensation.

It's nowhere near as common as the heavily skewed HN comments will make you believe.
