I think you misunderstood what I meant by "comfortable" here. I didn't mean to suggest that $130k is super normal - it's about the ceiling at my company - but $130k would make for very comfortable living. I live in Denmark, and the average salary for a software developer is about $80k or so. However, $100k+ is not uncommon and, as I mentioned, $130k is about the ceiling at my company. However, if you go solo and work as an independent consultant, you can easily make $100/h or even twice that if you're in a really good position.
