I suppose that might be a big achievement for europoors but even this >>12504206 is on the lower end of what a CS grad could be getting if they're on the coasts.
>inb4 cost of living
companies factor in cost of living into the salaries they pay. so yes, while cost of living is (much, much) more expensive than it should be, you're usually going to be more than able to offset that with the extra income you get (in addition to standard stock options, bonuses, etc.).
