In context: $200k is roughly what attorneys are paid in their 5th-6th years at large firms that service large corporations. Lawyers are in surplus right now. In finance, talented individuals are routinely paid well multiples of $200k for their work (even post-crash). So while $200k is high for salaries generally, it certainly is not high enough to imply a shortage in a highly specialized field.
