[quote=AN][quote=flu]I think for the by far the best place to work for geeks is orange county. I think you get above SD pay, and you’re company selection is more competitive. Down here, there’s not as much to choose from. Up in the the bay area, there’s a lot more to choose from, but cost of living is also insane up there.[/quote]Well, it depends on which industry you’re in, right? If you’re in biotech, I’m sure there are more jobs here than both OC and bay area. Same goes for defense. Not all geeks are the same. But in general, I agree that there are more jobs up there than down here. Which is why cost of living is also lower down here. I haven’t looked at OC in awhile, but the last time I did, relative to wages, it’s still cheaper down here than up there. This might just be because my requirement is a little unique.[/quote]
There are more total biotech jobs in the bay area than san diego, although the level of competition is probably comparable. For biotech SD is way better than LA/OC.
