Some people the money is necessary for survival. Those salaries are not easy to replicate outside of big tech. Making six figures is difficult in a lot of places. When I interviewed for Meta I knew I would accept what they gave me as they were offering remote at the time. I did not get the job, but I do actually need to support a family. Heck, where I live in the US, I would jump for less than $200k right now.

You do realize that $200k is a massive salary damn near anywhere in the world, right? That’s nearly double the median household in San Jose CA. And 40% above the median household in Sunnyvale. Somewhere near the top-5% nationally.

Less than $200k? Might as well off yourself.

Just kidding. It shouldn’t need to be said, but don’t actually off yourself.

Then don’t say it?

Edit for sensitivities: then (choose) not to say it (because you identified that you may be causing harm to someone for no more benefit than an ounce of mirth)?
