You are probably within a 1.5-2x of your total annual comp based upon current trends. I am in my late 30's and most friends that stayed in dev roles are making mostly in the < $200k range regardless of location. The way to increase it is to work on exiting a development role and moving into other roles or work on becoming a founder. Sadly, engineering is still not as respected in a financial sense, I think partially because US based companies feel they can off shore work for fractions of a dollar, thus keeping engineer salaries artificially capped. In your early-mid 20's you are doing well and should be proud. In my 20's I did very similar but found that I hit a ceiling that just couldn't be breached until I left pure development roles. Not saying you can't do better, just that it has been a trend in software for a long time.
