Depends on your industry. For what the OP does? Not so much. However, I'm 2 years out of uni making just that + benefits (Pension, Bonus, etc.) and have a few friends doing even better.

That all said to ask me to work for you when my options are taking a massive pay cut for a high risk venture are not likely.
