$100k salary has been known to be the "dream salary" to live comfy, while this may not be the case for many cities. I am curious on how long it has taken you to reach this milestone? I am currently 25 making $60k a year, wondering am I too ambitious by wanting to hit this milestone before 30 years old?

No problem if you can job hop into the right positions. You really have to be good at networking.
I know several people who did it in 7 years, or less, after graduating from college. Lots of people in jobs today where if they don't get paid 100k+, they are under paid. It isn't as big a barrier as it was years ago.

Most people don't make that milestone (or your starting salary) in their life time. If people know what you do, they might be better able to better guess your career salary trajectory.

depends on your industry. I was hitting that within 5 years of graduating college. I work in compliance/risk management.

I am a product development manager for a consumer electronics company employed with this job for 2 years. My past experience is irrelevant as I went for a career change. I am almost done with my MBA in marketing.
If you count EVERYTHING I got at one particular job (salary, bonus, free health insurance and paid lunch) that I got in the early 2000s, then I'll say it took me 10 years. However, if you are ONLY look at "take home" pay (including bonuses), then never.
