Living in

Washington DC - Baltimore

US

The DC–Baltimore corridor is shaped by work that carries weight: government, defence, healthcare, and the kind of large-scale programs that don’t exist in every market. Talent here often comes with deep expertise, strong credentials, and experience navigating complexity.

Living in the region offers variety: city pace in DC, more space and affordability further out, and a mix of history, universities, and established communities. It’s less about buzz, more about impact.
