200,000$ base + 9-12K yearly bonus

Working for a C series startup, same place for the last almost 6 years now.

Do you think there will be a time, given the proliferation of bootcamps (who themselves will continue to iterate to compensate for an everchanging market), there will be a time when you're employer is thinking the same thing about you?

Are we just in a bubble is what I'm saying or is software still a valid thing to get into with the expectation that, if one is particularly good, they'll be able to earn that much in 10 years?
