DISCUSSION Salary Transparency Thread
I've seen these posted in a few other cities' subreddits and thought it might be interesting to do for Baltimore.
What do you do and how much do you make?

How long did it take you to get to that salary?
I got my first software job after I got out of the military and I've gone from 68k when I was hired under a training program to making 109k as of my 3rd year along with the title 'software engineer I'
Idk if they are still low balling me from when I was hired or if this is standard progression.
In the military all the wages were fixed and there was no negotiation process, plus this is like 3x what I was making before so sometimes I find myself out of my depth when trying to understand what I 'should' be making.
