Looking To Move In A Year For IT Work, Need Advice
So about 3 months ago I moved from NJ to KY because NJ was becoming very expensive and over crowded, and I just was not happy living there. While I do think KY is a nice state, I have serious regrets moving here as I feel the job market is extremely weak and living close to I65 is a total nightmare. I am making the decision to move to either Virginia, South Carolina Or North Carolina,
I am planning on graduating in about 6 months for a Bachelor's in Cybersecurity, so I am looking for somewhere where there is a good tech sector with growing jobs. I have read that South Carolina is growing heavily, specially near Charleston, though I know it its getting expensive. North Carolina is also a great area, specially with Raleigh, though its also getting very pricey, although Charlotte isn't that bad. Norfolk, VA was another area I was looking at as well.
What I am really looking for is somewhere where there is a strong job market and at least fairly affordable housing, something around $250,000 or less(a tall order I know, but I have looked and found homes around that area). In the end what I really need is an area with an easy to break into IT market, an area with a lot of amenities near by, and an overall nice place to settle down. Any advice at all is greatly appreciated!
