As others have said, SDNY is the big winner. If you’re into gangs and organized crime, C.D. Cal. is good. If you’re into tech/hacking/threats from China, N.D. Cal. is good.

Any recommendations for certifications, ideally under $1,000? I've seen several but not sure of the quality or the relevance. I'm already working in UX unofficially and have updated my resume but looking to make a switch to user experience research. I think a certification will help me look like a better candidate, aside from giving me more practical knowledge.
