Did I say so? I'm not saying it's too high. I'm saying it's absurdly high. If I was saying it was too high I would be arguing that it should be lowered which I obviously would not want.
I mean, I don't think my statement is in any way inaccurate. It's kind of absurd that you can get a job that pays $200k+ total compensation your first year out of college with only a bachelors degree. Some people within the field don't even believe it's possible.
Companies love the free market when it benefits them and hate it when it benefits skilled workers.
