I am 29 years old. I command a salary just under his 2007 numbers as a senior engineer. Yet, I am not a senior engineer nor do I live in SV. I live in the DC area and I have an expected goal, by the time I am 35, I will either be making 180k or will own a profitable startup. By that time, I will consider my self senior. But I will also have another 30 solid years of development in front of me. Which could in fact drive the price up much higher.
