Which area are you in? Your LinkedIn profile suggests financial/webdev work.

I've been doing embedded/firmware engineering in this area my entire career and, right now, 100K is typical for a senior position with very few positions available over 125K. The only way to go higher is to consult.

Perhaps it's the glut of ex-Moto/ATT/Lucent/Tellabs people floating around. I dunno.
