I think you can break six figs in pretty much any metro area of US. Might need a couple years of experience in areas with low tech demand, but in major cities (SF, LA, NYC), I would expect the average new grad offer to be right around 100k.

My first job in 2017 was for 130k iirc. I work on ML efficiency. You should check out https://www.levels.fyi/ for more details.
