It takes a much longer time to work up to that amount of pay (unless you are in a high cost of living area in which case it isn't actually that much money). They don't start out even close to that amount. Just like everything else that is advertised it is you CAN make that much money eventually. $150,000 in LA or DC is not that much but it is a good amount for the Midwest (but of course you don't get paid that much in the Midwest right off the bat). These jobs have locality based pay like everything else.

So they say 150k but what that really means is 150k in the areas where it isn't that much money or 150k in the Midwest after about a decade on the job. But then they will say NO, we have new hires making that much money. What they mean is they make that much with overtime when saying these numbers. So you are making 75k a year but working 80 hours (TWO JOBS) so yes you make 150k early in your career but not really. Your really just working two jobs at 75k.

So the bottom line is that it is very very stressful for way too little money. They need to make about $200,000 in the Midwest for 40 hours a week and about $300,000 in high cost of living areas to make it a good job. Essentially double or more the pay they currently earn. It is a miserable job to work for the pay and hours required and that is why they constantly can't get anyone to fill the positions.
