That assumption is definitely wrong! Not everyone in HN is making around $200k per year. The average in the US is about $110k. And still not everyone in HN is in the US or being payed US rates.

Of course if you value your time more than what your employer is paying you then you either need to leave your current job or rethink what's the value of your time.

Aside: the HN average in the US may be $110k. The median household income is around $60k and the median personal income is $35-40k.
