All over Wall St., at least. I wouldn't be surprised if computer
salaries hereabouts are pretty near the highest anywhere. I can think of
several factors driving this:

- Wall St. firms need lots of computer experts, and want the best, and
  there aren't enough people to go around;

- They can afford to pay plenty for people who can do the work;

- Cost-of-living locally is rather higher than in most of the rest of
  the US, and so gives another boost.

If you want to get into the six-figure buckses, just ring up a
headhunter with a big Wall St. presence; my favourite in that category
is Pencom.
