It’s great to see that skill and knowledge is appreciated, and not only the degree. I don’t know how the numbers of $54,972 or $86,460 sound to you; it all depends on your current earnings and expectations.

Good luck! Employment is subject to successful completion of a security background check. If you are a male applicant born after December 31, 1959, you must certify that you have registered with the Selective Service System, or are exempt from having to do so under the Selective Service Law.
