I am really curious about metro areas that are paying 100-120k for senior(in the real sense) devs. Could you please share some metro areas you are familiar with?

120k USD ~= 180k AUD, which is a rate I have _definitely_ seen advertised for Seniors in Sydney + Melbourne.

I'm in Brisbane, but salaries are wildly different between US and AU. The exchange rate is not a good approximation. We don't see many US$275K (AU$410K) remote jobs [1] advertised in Australia either.

Most metro areas in the Midwest, I think. Certainly the ones near me, at least.

Sure. Boston, NYC, Seattle, basically any city in the US you will find senior devs being hired at that price range.

You do realize not every company pays well right?
