Not all SW devs make that kind of money. I don't live in Silicon Valley, and I make significantly less than that amount. I could probably get a job there making somewhere north of $300k, but my expenses would go through the roof and I'd be stuck in SV traffic all the time, no thank you. I get paid well, but less than half what Signal is paying.
