I am applying for machine learning engineering roles in the Washington DC area, and my goal is to get 90-100k. I will be getting my massters degree from an prestigious school, so I think that will help with my goal.
Would that be your first ML job? That's a pretty high number, good luck!

Earlier quoted context omitted.
A family of 3 in the DC area needs about 108,000 to live a lower-middle-class lifestyle.
Most recent grad/entry-level people generally don't have a family of 3 yet, or do they?
However, (and I think this is pretty obvious) the point is that shooting for 90k to start in an incredibly high-cost area, for a difficult specialization in a field that's in super-high demand and that has historically been considered to pay a lot of money isn't going to be as great as it sounds.
