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?

Use the raise hand feature to make people aware you want to say something. Speak when the person finishes with your corrections.
Is it important?
If it's important, hop in and make the correction. If there's some matter where telling this person they're wrong is not polite, then phrase it as a question, or add a clarifying statement about how "the most recent information is X".
If this person is just rambling about how McDonalds was founded in Ireland by a leprechaun, then let them continue. The world needs to know these sorts of things.
That's a difficult thing. I usually wait until they pause.
Or until they are done with what they are saying. Give them the benefit of doubt that they are trying to elaborate something with a knowledge that you don't know.
Just wait until your turn and raise up the correction. You shouldn't be afraid to correct someone if it'll help you with the project.
