Most of the contractors I know are making about $100/hour. I dont know any FTEs that are making $200k per year.

This may be true at "Ma & Pa's Web Development Shop", but it's not true at banks.

I work for a tech company all of you know, and have plenty of friends at other major tech companies. I don't know any that pay your average senior engineer anything close to $200k, but that's the going rate for an average experienced contract. Specialized contractors get paid a lot more than that.
