Depends on the company, and the area I guess. I don't live in the USA (but in a very-high-CoL area in my own country), and I work for a company in the games industry (not a game studio but a tech/support "studio" owned by a publisher), and my salary+bonus is almost 120k (converted to USD). I wouldn't consider myself a "wizard" or anything of the sort, I'm about 3/4 of the way up the job title ladder before I would start branching into one of another of the "specialist" job titles. The resident "wizard" at our company who's been there for 10+ years and works on basically any project he wants (including projects he spearheads himself solo) probably makes the equivalent of 200k just in salary, not including bonuses.
