I want to know too. Is this the norm?

no. they are yanking your chain.

see - http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Java-Developer-l-Virginia.html

we hire H1Bs for java developers with 2 to 6 years at 60 to 80K.

top salaries are in sv or for top clearances but these are rare and not the norm. People making that much are quickly replaced with younger people willing to work for less and more hours.

a good article on this is at - http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2014/07/

They might not be yanking any chains, but they're far from typical.

Horrible companies hire h1bs, avoid those and you can be rewarded with a decent salary and better work environment.
