200k easy might be little exaggeration . Lets remove 'easy' . That was based on people I have known over years. There are developers working with me with 10+ years making well more than 200k. Not to mistake with 100k.
If we go with statistics, In US, 8-10 yrs experienced developer makes in average 139k - 149k. Also depending on location and company salary varies a lot. For example if you work in SF , the average is much higher. And i'm talking about real experience and not attaching with any consultancy. Suppose you are getting paid 65k from a consultancy. That means the end client is actually paying about 85-100k for you. Consultancy takes out the rest for themselves. If you work directly for the client, all that money is yours.
