First year programming at GS with 190k?

My friend just told me he got hired at Goldman Sachs (NY office) for $190,000 for a programming job (first year)

I called bullshit on him, but can anyone confirm?

He could very well be quant though, in which case he's (deservedly) getting paid an absurd amount of money to do an absurdly challenging job.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
