That is not entirely correct. The actual text of the law, IIRC, reads =
to the
effect of "Work which is primarily intellectual or managerial in =
nature..."
In other words, if you are management _OR_ some form of technical
professional. Most of the technical individual contributors I know that
are in the 6-figure realm are exempt.
You can find California Guidance on this matter here:
http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_OvertimeExemptions.htm
More information is available here:

For further information, refer to the California Labor Code, near =
section 515.
(515.5 applies to this industry)
Other states may vary.
