Looking at the salary numbers from H1b applications (http://visadoor.com/h1b/index?company=netflix&job=&case_no=&...), I wouldn't find that too far fetched. To add to that, I know someone who went there as "senior" with 5 years of work experience
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).

Just sharing anecdote for anecdote.

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.
