-- What part of Florida? I am totally alien to the market.
-- By "Northeast" do you mean both Boston and the New York area? Or even more?
Interesting thing is, The Boston Globe has 30 ads on a Sunday for every 3 in
the The New York Times' -- though I know the jobs are there because I found me
one.
-- California: Besides Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay Area, is San Diego hot,
too? What about the LA Area?
-- I would add the general Seattle area: even all the way into Canada the way I
hear it.
And while we are at it, anyone looking would be well-advised to get in touch
with the local STC chapter; they often have job banks, hotlines or web pages.
