Is 100k for 10 years of experience (3 at a small company and 7 at a tier 2 firm) in the DC area with a MS and PMP certification seriously underpaid?

Yes. I'm assuming you work in Federal consulting, but even so you are at least 25-30% underpaid

150 absolute minimum but you should be targeting around 200 for total comp. Breakdown of salary/bonus/equity will depend on the firm you’re talking with.

Are you an associate with 10 YOE?

Are you at BAH? Do you have a clearance?

Probably underpaid to some extent but it really depends on the specifics of YOUR background and experience. Some people work 40 years and make less than you do now. People responding you should be “AT LEAST 150 and maybe 200” etc etc are making comparisons to their own trajectories but MAY not be grounding it in YOUR history.

I suspect your experience “with a small company” isn’t being counted in your favor. I am in a similar situation insofar as I had 3 ~ 5 years of unrelated experience when I was younger, that isn’t really part of my “tenure” in this industry. You can let me know if this is a fair assumption for you also?

Looks like you’re a M equivalent at a non-target firm with a non-target degree. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, we just need to set the right expectation here. From this perspective I’d say $100k is on the low end, but at the same time I can guarantee my firm has Managers in certain functions making similar, so you may not be *statistically significantly* off base. That said, making a competitive move in the job market will almost certainly give you a bump to a figure you’re more personally comfortable with, if you can pull it off.

Good luck with your interviews.

Thank you. What would be an appropriate amount to target? I’m actively interviewing this week with KPMG, GDIT, and Facebook in the DC area, and would like to ask for the right amount if asked about salary expectations

The numbers I gave, are to the best of my knowledge, accurate for federal. The high side may be a bit over but I’m nearer the top than the bottom w/8yoe and in Fed.

It really depends on what you do. You mentioned a master’s and a PMP, but what’s your actual role?
