Depends on what you include in the percentage. 31% is definitely possible if you’re looking at the full effective tax rate, including federal, state, city (if applicable), social security, Medicare, etc.
In California, which has high state income tax, you’ll reach 30% total effective tax rate around $115-120k/year if filing single.
Also, definitely less likely, but an income around $600k/year (if filing single) will also get you a ~30% effective federal tax rate.
(numbers are rough estimates but should be close-ish)

Also if the person is barely starting to work… which I hope is the case and not that this person doesn’t have a lot saved.
