I was paid closer to $145k while at Microsoft, and the health insurance fory locality kinda sucked (according to my wife, who manages that part of our lives).

And I didn't stay long enough fory stock grant to vest at all (IIRC).

I got lowballed by a certain washington state based company. Was no where close to that number.

Edit: was slightly lower than the number the sibling comment mentioned.
