I think the parent comment is talking about Silicon Valley salaries where the ballpark starting compensation at FAANG is roughly in line with ~180k$ (that was my starting comp many years ago, it probably has increased since). In the Bay, that's the norm, but then again, cost of living is also very high.
You don't have to be from a top school, but it does help.

Sure. But most people in the USA who work in finance are making mid/high 5 figures. Wall Street is small.
