That's 130,000-150,000 annually if you clock 40 hours 5 days a week, not hourly.
I don't know in what universe you think $150 per hour is low, I've never seen anything near that rate. Maybe for highly specialized work but not any general purpose development.
150k is still a great wage in most major US metros. The bay is expensive, but this is still a top-10% compensation package compared to the general population.
