I guess it depends on how you come in. I was in a position where I came around 2012 with some self taught skills and managed to start out with a 50-60 hour grind but 70k wage and climb slowly into the 250+ range in the ~decade since.

However, I location-optimized. I started in rural Ohio ~2hrs from Detroit, and ended up in New York City after some bouncing to smaller tech cities climbing the ladder. But I think my hourly rate comes out pretty great, even historically to my career beginning, especially for a non-college-grad.
