Anyone here struggling to find any real tech jobs? I am in the data and analytics aiming to exit consulting for industry but this place seems barren. We barely have any tech here, mostly just a handful of orthodox American corporations like UPS, Coca Cola, etc which have IT/Data functions more for operations than anything else. Anyone else struggling?

ATL is not a tech city. If you want a real tech job, go to the west coast.

That argument applies to Atlanta too. Plenty of tech jobs, no less than Dallas nor Raleigh

I'd just apply to remote tech jobs out of Silicon Valley. A lot of companies in SF are still offering quite a few remote positions and then you get SF salary for Atlanta cost of living. Seems like the best of both worlds

Not really in the long term. Your chances to get promoted to leadership positions would be limited versus those who have a presence locally. I am past the Individual Contributor life.

Job transition question: I recently accepted an offer for a new role with Merrill Lynch, the following day I was fired from my previous employer.
