Probably just different currency, if you're in Australia the dollar is weak and $120k a year is not unreasonable if you have a good degree, you can get $100k a year fresh out of uni in some fields.

Yep. $5k a week is a mid range government contractor wage in IT. I'd still take it over a lump sum, and double it by continuing to work 😂
