Ft. Meade is a big employer in that area, Raytheon as well. Northrop Grumman is commutable from there, as is Annapolis junction and Columbia.
Baltimore and DC can be commuted to from that area. DC would be rough if you don’t take the metro from somewhere. Not a great drive but I know a lot of people who did/do it.
I live north east of the Baltimore beltway and recently started a new job between BWI and Arundel Mills, about an hour with no traffic, but I work remotely half the week.
There are an absolute ton of jobs in your area. It’s much more sparse north of 695. Basically APG.
