I’m not sure how much I should be asking for salary when interviewing. 5 YOE business analyst/requirements analyst on federal software dev projects. In the DC area, no MBA. I’m making less than <$80k right now, but glassdoor & payscale say the average for someone in my role is $84k? I feel like my peers with similar background are making lots more than that. I’ve been giving recruiters a range of $90k-100k but not sure if I’m selling myself short? Any insight is appreciated!

You are selling yourself short. Same YOE, industry, and salary as you and had offers starting at 110.

You could probably get 100-110 at big4 consultant level in DC. Not selling yourself short

Minimum should be around 110k. I would be asking for a range between 115k-125k with your experience. For reference, I jumped with 3 YOE for 98k in GPS - Risk IA.
