I don't know about that. I've seen a few tech jobs around the £70-80k mark at the BBC, which is about $120k. Throw in the additional benefits and it's probably not far off.

Hah, I wish. I was a senior engineer there and earned less than half that.

You don't join the BBC for the money in IT... for the lax culture perhaps.

a few, and they'll be in London so your living costs can be truly massive.

Sometimes the rates you see advertised are also 3 month contract jobs where someone is looking for attention by stating the contract amount as if the job was 12 months salaried.
