As someone living/working outside of the US, I'm not sure if this post is a joke. Is a median of $200k actually low?

I think its a joke, or it should be. Income of $200k puts you above 97.3% of Americans according to https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-calculator/ .

$200k is not low anywhere in the US for any job (except maybe certain types of specialist doctor).

There is nowhere in the USA where $200k is low.
