any decent stats analysis has built in outlier detection and ignores them, there are people that either lie or just make stuff up for attention and detecting these (data trolls) is just part of the analysis. Blindly averaging is never effective. |

Fwiw, 250k+ seems fairly standard in some fields I've interacted with. You don't need to look very far to find them either. A good Oracle DBA will make that or more in a reasonably large corporate environment; so will a good SEO hacker in the gambling industry insofar as I've interacted with them.
It does beg one question though: how high in the corporate hierarchy were the positions with, say, $360k/year or more? If the salary is that of an IT exec in large corporations, it's not necessarily comparable to the salary of IT staff underneath them or of the consultants they might hire. (Only one thing seems reasonably sure: they weren't working for early stage start-ups.)
