As an Australian working in tech, I can assure you software engineers don’t earn $30-$60k on average. Most people in teams I’ve worked with are on $100k+

You are correct, but the original post clearly used US dollars, but it's not clear you did. So for the context of this discussion I note that $100,000 Australian dollars is $75,000 US dollars at current exchange rates (and 100,000 USD is 132,000 Australian dollars).
