I have lived in FL my whole life and believe me when I say that the tech jobs were the ONLY thing I have ever felt like I was missing. And after having built a career over the last decade or so on this coast and having learned a bit more about who I am and what I really want, I don’t miss the FAANG jobs either. It’s fantastic here, and I’d recommend it to anyone.
- moltar 8y agoWhat are the good and fun areas of Florida? I’ve never been, but always had an impression of it being a large retirement place. Except Miami, ofc, which also didn’t appeal to me. Would love to visit some day, but want to go to the right places. Thank you.
- twodave 8y agoThe entire east coast is pretty interesting. I’ve lived in Jacksonville or near it my whole life. We have moderate weather while still having some semblance of seasons, we have beautiful and uncrowded beaches, people are relaxed for the most part... and it’s a Navy town so you have a lot of diversity in the area. If you work in tech here you end up making more for the CoL than you would in almost any other place on the planet. I’ve been making mid-100s or better for the last 3-4 years (have 12 years of experience now). Housing prices have been rising, but if you’re patient you can still find places in the $100-115/sq ft range. My wife and I are raising our 4 kids here and would never dream of leaving.
