I'm in early 30s, live in Ohio making around $105k before taxes working as a backend developer for a medium size company. $90k to $110k is a pretty standard salary for a backend (or full stack) developer with 10 years of experience throughout the state from my interview experience. Adjusting for cost of living in Seattle versus my location, your salary is pretty comparable to mine. Done just about everything software wise from the frontend to the backend in a number of different languages (C#, Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python, PHP).
If you're witnessing ageism already, you're probably dodging a bullet working at those toxic places for reasons that go beyond just ageism. Seattle would be my choice to live in though if I were on the West Coast.
I do projects on the side as a hobby (mobile apps and such). Keeps up my skills and pays for my lunch money. Used to do a lot of contract work for startups in the area and small businesses. Wanted more stability, so I gave it up for a regular salary. I sometimes miss the freedom I had with my previous work, but doing my side projects keeps me happy when I get bogged down with too much "process" at my day job.
