I recently interviewed with MITRE for a systems engineering role to make the move from Leidos where I feel underpaid for the work I do and for my experience ($85K). I have 4 YOE, a STEM degree, and soon will have a Masters Degree. I’m looking to make around $120K in the new role at Mitre. Does anyone have any insight into comp there? This would be in the DC metro area. Does $120K seem reasonable or am I dreaming?

Are they hiring? Can I use you as a reference? Lol
That's the real question
If you're looking to transition to technical project management, you could use some of your downtime getting a certification. Project Management Professional (PMP) would be a good place to start. You could check out some online learning, places like Udemy or Coursera may have courses you'd be interested in pursuing.
Become a bartender.
Are you looking to move into managing the timeline of the work or introduce new possibilities into production? Timeline and paperwork is project management and new possibilities into production is product management.
Or do you want to possibly keep doing what you are doing and learn about new tech/code/tools? Possibly gear up on the side to go up the ladder in responsibility?
There is so much “new” out there, it would help to know what you were thinking to leaning.
OP you could always look into doing some certs in your down time or even finding some part time little projects to work on just to keep everything fresh in your mind.
