Everyone on HN makes $300K, drives a Porsche and has a supermodel boyfriend/girlfriend. Look at every salary thread here, you’ll see it over and over. Self reported salary data is always going to skew high because of ego.

Tip: look 2 comments up
AFAIK, only Google and Facebook have fairly sizeable engineering offices here and pay that much.
Even the large financial institutions pay most of their engineers less than 200k, maybe around 150k.
I've heard of "quants" (engineers / mathematicians) who sit at the trading desks making bank, but that was in the days of when trading actually made a ton of money, and I have to yet meet someone in person to ask them how much they made.
