$100/hr in NYC? (Score 1)

Who in New York City is making this much money doing tech work? Seriously, I'm curious here. Last I checked the going rate seemed to be $50 to $80, maybe even less. If we're talking consulting work, I could see the rate being $100/hr, but otherwise paying that much to a tech for a normal week of time (I'm assuming 40 hours here) seems criminally inefficent, especially if we're talking about the jobs that are outsourced the most (ie. helpdesk). Of course, if I'm wrong on that, great! I look forward to saving up to buy my Manhattan apartment.
