No one without experience will command a $150k base, let alone $200k. These are VP-level base salaries.

I personally beg to differ. I'm not willing to give much more identifiable info, so if you want to call me a liar, feel free to.

Which companies can pay someone fresh out of school 150-200k base? Maybe DE Shaw, RenTech, a handful of other large funds. Banks just don't do it.

Exactly. I never said banks.

Experience in programming or experience in Finance?

Fresh out of school.
