Finance pays similar rates as this in lots of places (Chicago, New York, Austin, Houston, Dallas).

These are just jobs I know of in my network. I’ve heard that these pay band exists in other industries as well (consulting, specialist niche, etc).

Most finance roles don't anymore. There's a large supply of candidates looking for roles across finance in e.g. NYC, but the industry is also shrinking in many areas, leading to compensation compression. I'm particularly thinking of sell-side roles.

This is true, I’ve recieved a number of offers in finance that were good but underwhelming.

I'll take a finance software engineering job in NYC at these rates. It'll mean relocating, but for a 50% salary hike, I can manage.
