That, to me, says more about how other professions are underpaid, or perhaps just that software creates a lot of value. The work my team is directly responsible for generates tens of millions of dollars for my company - 120k feels appropriate.

Throughout most of the world (including most of the US), $120k a year is enough to buy and fully pay off a mortgage on a house in a city in < 10 years - even after tax.
