What is the industry norm for financial tech salary? Low?

Not necessarily low, but not enough to compensate for being disrespected within company culture.

And salary is not as high as it sounds if you work in Manhattan.

100,000 and up. You can find jobs advertising 500,000 for programmers in NY with a simple search (I just saw a few), and there are stories of top programmers making millions (one which made it to HN some months ago).

Don't expect to make a million dollars a year at Bank of America.

Million dollars a year or not, no programmer with a conscience should work for Bank of America. They are a fundamentally amoral institution.

You have to have some specialized knowledge for those.

Can you point me to a specific job posting for 500K?

In my anecdotal experience it's competitive with MS and Amazon, at least for offers to new grads. Everything I saw was 90s to low six figures in Chicago, goes a bit higher in New York. Not sure what it's like at big banks, all my experience is with prop firms, I'd imagine it's similar though.
