If you're a skilled webdev at FANG, ~250k+ is trivial.

Lots of defense contractors will try and pay their fresh meat 80k so they can make more money. Government gets really touchy about hourly rates per person, but has no problem with 'fair' hourly rates for many more people to do the job one person could and should do.

Your instinct is spot on.

I made 76k at the defense contractor.

I made 255k this year (6 years later).
