Money to Blow

I saw an advertisement in a technical magazine for a programmer. The salary offered was between $225k and $400k. Whuuuut? The ad empasized that the job was a 40 hour a week 9 to 5 type job.

Perhaps this is a specialty position. They want experience with derrivative software. They also require a masters degree in computer science. However they are just looking for 3 years of derrivatices software experience.

Normal developers make a lot less than $225k in salaried positions. Senior developers make more like $125k. Do these guys have so much cash overflowing that even the developers get to share the booty? Sounds fishy to me.
