Hi all,
This may be a bit off-topic, but I am curious. Where would you say the
majority of "tough markets" are right now? And where are the small
tech writer supply areas? I guess I would say the Northwest and
California for the tough markets and Austin and such for the other. Am

just wondering. I actually got my first offer today (yippee!), but I
am not sure if the location is the best place for me. Please reply to
me here or offline.
TIA,
Cheri
