I went from $20 an hour dev to $70 an hour (144k) a year dev in my first 5 years way back when I was starting out... and now I make way more. And no, you can't copy whatever you did since the job market is much different now a days. For the last 2 years, I've met plenty of senior devs that couldn't find a job, I'm just really glad I got something over remove that pays 240k a year that I won't let go. Anyways, I'm happy for you, that you this far in 3 years, certainly not the normal progression. not sure you mentioned if you did go to college, how good was it (ivy league?), if you had any student loans, or if you live in an expensive city with a high cost for a maango company that forces in office work, but... interesting video.
