Not necessarily.  I know a number of individual contributor
TWs with salaries in this range across the country, though
all are in high income/cost metro areas.  What they bring
to the table instead of project or group management skills
are highly specialized technical backgrounds.  There is a
world of people writing in fields like medical device/
pharma/bioinformatics, high-energy physics and other 
highly technical fields who are not well represented by 
postings to this and other lists that tend to be populated 
by software writers..
