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.

I do hiring at a company that does work requiring clearances and no H1Bs and believe me, 170K for a developer is not typical. Even the folks with TS/poly are having a hard time getting that now.

There is a shortage of cleared developers, it is hard to lure one with less than 145k

Seriously? What do you sell?

Smartphones and other electronics. Could make more in narcotics but comes with a whole set of other risks I'm not willing to take.

You are funny. EVERY tech company hires H1Bs and if they didn't, our stock market wouldn't be what it is. Our own US-educated kids aren't succeeding in STEM, and there's too much age-ism to hire the US nationals who can do the work.
