It depends on a variety of factors.
The industry, location, employment role, hours, experience and typical 'shelf life'.

I’m 24 and make around £150 including bonus so my 26 I’m aiming for around 200k. I work in trading so that’s about average for my industry

You make around £150 so aiming for £200k in two years?

I don't care about salary as long as I enjoy my job - which I do.

Covers all the essentials and I can save so it's win-win-win

I'd say 80k is a pretty good target with 4 years of experience with the goal to hit 100k by 30. You can accomplish this in many fields like finance, consulting, law, tech, sales etc.
