I must be doing something wrong. I'm near 60k with five years of experience, and done two lead roles. Contracting, so lots of variety, but the boss takes the biggest chunk. Small dev contracting company, 30-ish people. I haven't started on my own business, because I don't know how to find contracts.

Not really, 5 years experience isn't much. I've been coding for 25 years, working for 15 years and leading teams for about 5 years. I'll be switching to contracting soon because it lets me double my salary & have a chance on actually working on something difficult again :) I'm a bit of an outlier of course, there are very few people who can match both my depth and breadth in development as the best tend to bail at 30 for management positions (which I very nearly did).
