Data scientist using advanced ML techniques to work in DC for $99-165K/yr? That seems like they might be looking a while and still settling for less than top talent.

There are Federal pensions involved. Try to get that at a Valley startup. Plus the opportunity to really change the world (for better or worse).

Can't tell if you're being facetious. Google and Facebook both do 50%.
