Right there with you. I’m doing pretty decent, making 85k but straight out of college. At a nice start up in a big city. But 800k at Netflix? Good god.. I should mention I’m ‘straight out of college’ at 27, so that’s contributing, too.

I would not get depressed, you're talking about an extremely small audience of developers in the field. If anything I'd look at it with aspiration, you're reading up on hackernews and you're straight out of college at a startup. Keep hustling no idea where you'll end up, I assume netflix is not paying kids out of college 800K :D
As someone who is not making 800k at Netflix, I want to say you are definitely doing pretty well in my opinion. Congrats!

I graduated college a year early (21 years old), but it took me almost 4 years in the industry before my compensation even got close to 70k.
