No. You can expect to double that if you're at the top of your game. It all depends on the company: those hiring top talent will start at ~$100k.

Agreed. I'm 27 and was making more than $110k/year working for a top company in the valley. And I was a middle of the road engineer compared to some of the geniuses there.

The valley is a bit of a high salary zone. What would a typical developer make in portland for example?
