"based on the East Coast. My salary isn't bonkers but I'm comfortably in the 150-200k range before bonus."

Hope you are not trolling. 150-200K is not only comfortable but one of the top salaries even in East Coast area.

No crap, that's significantly more than I'm making and I work 50 hours most week plus have a requirement to maintain certifications and write cookbooks and/or blog posts after hours. It's a bonkers salary if one actually works.

I wonder if the OP's company needs any data engineers.

For NYC at least, that's fairly normal for software engineers at tech companies. https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/New-York-C...

NYC is a step-function of higher COL than just about anywhere else on the East Coast. Even compared Boston or DC. Taxes alone are high, around 6% total for New York State. Want to live in New York City? Great, that's an additional 3%. OK, so you don't want to live in New York City to avoid that 3%? Now you're looking at $600/month for your commute costs to spend 3 hours a day commuting.
