Closer it $155k if you keep credit high each month and include per diem.
Keep in mind that you don't get both the sign-on bonus and the retention bonus. You get one or the other.
My calculation for 3 years for FO's on property is $109K for PSA. That's $36k average over 3 years. Better than it's been but still not much, especially considering most of us are paying of hefty student loans which greatly eats into our monthly take home. Still, at least we have reversed the downward trend and are on our way back up.
Of course, if you can credit more, you earn more.
