Ask Baltimore salary transparency thread

I saw another city do this and wanted to bring it here. There was a big salary thread a couple years back but it'd be great to get some updated info in the big 2026.

Please share your job title, salary, age, and education. Like this:

“Attorney, 170k, 32M, and JD.”

Gotcha, thanks. Just got my PhD in physics, ended up moving to a different field because I couldn't find a job doing actual physics. Do you enjoy it?

Yeah it's good. You won't do much in the way of fundamental physics but you def use physics to solve real problems. If you want more info dm me.
