If I took a job for ~100k in Washington, I'd live worse than I did as a PhD student in Sweden. It would basically suck. I'm not sure ~120k would make things that different.
The erosion of the standard of living in the US (and the West more broadly) is not something to be ignored in any discussion of wages.
