There are several on-ramps to higher paying positions in the industry:
Location - the tier 1 or 2 metro areas will have more jobs available and they will pay much more than areas with lower demand.
Skills - either really hot (today, JS/fullstack I suppose) or really niche (know COBOL?) skills will boost your chances at landing a good high paying job early in your career.
Credentials - anything with gatekeeping such as a security clearance or tons of required certs will tend to pay well.
There are probably others. Networking is a great way to get past HR goalkeeping and connect with people who are one or two degrees away from a hiring manager. Go to meetups!
