That’s what he/she was making in the United States.
I understand that, but I still find that to be extremely high. I'm in Denmark, a country that's known for high cost of living and high saleries to match, and I wouldn't expect a senior dev/ops/sec position to pay more than half that.
Its not high if you live in NYC or SF. Its above average but not by much.
It's normal for people to be paid $120k/y straight out of college in SF Bay Area. $225k/y is normal for seniors.
Total comp for a Senior SW Engineer at one of the big tech companies would be 300-400k/yr.
