Similar - 15 years experience in DevOps, I make $100k at my current job ($20k less than my previous job which was in Los Angeles, I'm still in CA, but away from the metros.)
But...and this more than makes up for it...my hours are capped at 35 a week. (I usually work between 30-35).
And I love it. The tradeoff has been completely worth it for me.
