This is what I was thinking.. I'm hoping it's a bit higher but I wouldn't complain

Security clearance definitely pays higher than a regular employee. I would say 120 to 160 seems fairly possible with clearance level job. If not even higher.

That would be amazing. A lot higher than I initially thought. Thanks!

Yes def higher in dc than maryland. Even VA you should expect higher salary.

You can get 120-140 base easy with TS in DC. You can get 140 base without TS with 6 YOE at mid-senior tier. It depends on who you work with and what you do. Graphic Designer with 14+ YOE can get over $200k TC with clearance. I made $170K TC when I turned 30 without clearance with YOE 6. Don't work for cheap companies. They'll go away. Go out and get what you're worth.
