As an aside, what is the range for "low six figures?" I hear this term a lot, and it seems ambiguous to me. If I hear "low 90's" I can reasonably assume between 90-93, but what does low six figures mean? Is it 100k-103k as an analogue to the 90's example? Or is 100k-300k? If the former, than it's probably most useful just to say 100k. If the latter, then that range is too wide to mean anything.

I agree with you that as a term “low six figures” is odd. 300k should mean low six figures.
In the vernacular, with regards to salary, it is used to describe a range between 100 and 200k. So low six figures tends to mean closer to 100k. That’s very consistent in usage.
It is a little odd though, I would agree about that.
