I've been out of school 3-4 years, and I work at a large company. I'm about 10% a manager, 10% a resident data scientist, and 80% a coder, and I love my job.
so are you a valley coder at netflix? seems suspect you already have a 250k salary as a 26 yr old
My personal observations (at a bigco) suggest that it's not super unusual to have 200k-250k total comp at a bigco after a few years.
To provide a counterpoint, I don't think that's suspect at all. I just thought of ten individual people with that salary at that age (or younger).
