What's the tech job market like there? Or are you fully remote like above?

  The tech industry in Central Florida has grown in recent years and seems to be quite strong at present with companies like Disney, Universal, Deloitte hiring lots of tech folks, and a small but growing startup scene. Salaries aren't going to be the same as the west coast though (obviously), and most of the senior developer roles I've seen cap out at around the $100k-ish mark. With the far cheaper cost of living though, it goes a lot further.

    Don't forget the defense industry, a lot of my friends who graduated from UCF went to Boeing, Lockheed, and Homeland Security

      Do they hire non-citizens?

    Practically, I know it should go further. I think about doing it all the time. But it sure sounds daunting to take a 30-50% pay cut to move to an area with (significantly) fewer jobs.

  I spent a few months trying to get (re)established in FL last year as a Consultant. The major market for tech jobs come from health care. Not a very progressive or interesting market. Its mostly the typical Windows/VMWare, Microsoft stuff. A little bit of Devops here and there, and a smattering of low level development/coding work. As a tooling and process consultant focused on Atlassian's tools, there's very little for me.
