      Wasn't he just looking at some place on the West Coast? I mean that should blow expensive East coast cities out of the water (not Rochester or Orlando).

      I'm not aware that he was. The east coast isn't THAT bad. Boston and NYC are, of course. But lots of the east coast is cheaper than the west.

      I haven't traveled as much as you, but everywhere I've been on the east coast is bad (mostly the big cities). Northern Virginia (as you are already well aware) is insane.

      It depends on where you live Alexandria isn't that bad. Had an ex-girlfriend that lived there.

      No, it's bad. I've lived there.

        That's where I was staying. I was hearing about $1500 a month for a basic apartment in a decent area..

        $1300-1500. That is what I pay right now though

        I could get something nice where I live for $750-800. You can rent a 4 bedroom house for $900.

        That's like here in Dallas. Nice places within walking distance of my house for $800 (was just looking for my dad last week.) If you are willing to be more than a few blocks from SAM, you can be a lot cheaper, too. That's just "on my street" prices.

          I'm paying $300/month right now. This area a good apartment goes for around $450. Renting is silly compared to buying around here tho. You can easily find a place for $30,000-$40,000

          I know some rural areas in Tennessee that are similar, but I am pretty sure 95% of the population cannot spell "IT" so I doubt there would be many jobs.

          I am guessing your area might be similar?

          That's the kicker. It's way more tech than Tennessee in those kinds of areas, but same general problem.

            I've had the opposite experience and have done better at organizations with no internal contacts.

            Well, depending on how things go tomorrow, I may be headed down that road.

            I know about quite a few openings in the Orlando area that are actively seeking employees. It may not be ideal for you, but lower cost of living and no state income tax.

            But then you'd have to live in Florida...

                  More like get used to taking a bath by stepping outside. I've been stuck in summer down there with no A/C before.

                    NJ is just as bad

                    Nothing short of a guaranteed mil/yr with a golden parachute contract would make me move to NJ. That place is an armpit, and I've been to El Paso.

                              I know about quite a few openings in the Orlando area that are actively seeking employees. It may not be ideal for you, but lower cost of living and no state income tax.

                              But then you'd have to live in Florida...

                              Never heard that one before 😉

                              I mean there's a reason people say it...

                                I've had the opposite experience and have done better at organizations with no internal contacts.

                                Well, depending on how things go tomorrow, I may be headed down that road.

                                  Yes, the zombie population. It's where the rest of us go to die out of courtesy as to not plague the population in our home states.

                                    You mean rate of change? California has you beat. Even Texas I believe is growing faster then Florida is.

                                            I guess that's good? Lots of living dead down there though.
