Nah. Orlando, and Florida in general, is a terrible tech market. Orlando is also a god-awful city. You might have better luck if you were in San Francisco, Austin, New York, or Chicago.
- drudoo 5y agoYou are probably right. We only moved there because my wife already had a job there and a lot of our friends are in Orlando. We have zero connection to any of the bigger tech cities, so that wasn't even an options.
