They hire numbers instead of quality. Highest payers are medium sized hedge funds. GS and the big guys pay on average $80k. Medium sized hedge funds like the one I work for pay $150k+ on average. Often the big guys hire straight out of college while the hedge funds hire the best of the guys at the big firms. I got lucky and took a junior position paying $100k right of of college that increased pretty quickly.  
  
 Edit: messed up my numbers.
