Consider contracting (in addition to) your day job. My day job reached peak salary 2 years ago(160-ish as an engineer), and I started taking on remote contract work for larger IT companies(eg VMware and Cisco, not John Doe's Lawn Service). My contract earnings soon eclipsed my salary by double, and eventually triple. The rest is history as they say... I wish I had done this years ago.
TLDR; If you want money above all else, work for yourself, and contract out to companies that have deep pockets. With your skill set, you shouldn't have much trouble getting in the door.
