I disagree, majority of financial firms see tech employees aka 'IT' workers as a cost center. After '08 there is a major focus on cost cutting as overall industry is not doing well. With the exception of a few high risk and small (few 100 people) hedge funds you barely would see someone with 5-7 years of experience touching 200k salary.
