IMO you should keep salary/hourly comparisons separate. When you're talking about how much per hour, it's typically a freelance/contract rate. But that is going to be much different than what you would make per hour on salary.

For example a freelancer might charge $100-150 per hour. That's like $200-300k per year on salary (at that rate). But a freelancer at that rate doesn't actually make that amount, because you have to factor in downtime (they don't always have work, and they often have to spend time finding work) and they don't have benefits, etc.
