Exchanges pay out bigger bonus' than you'd imagine. 7 figures for a programmer is high but no where out of the ordinary. Says a guy who has worked for an exchange.
Which exchange did you work for, I don't see one on your linkedin profile?
I'd agree with that. Having said that, I doubt many investment banks are regularly paying developers multi-million dollar bonuses.
The people who get those are called quants or traders, even if they have programming skills, just my experience.
