I didn't factor in commute as I lived close to customer sites that took me
less than 10 minutes to drive to. But LJ is right.. I once had to go on a
personal errand where MapQuest said it would be a 10 minutes drive from one
part of the city Englewood to another, and it ended up to be about 40 in
traffic..
That was significantly more than a 20 minute break that I thought I would
take..

Unfortunately, I've lived in Colorado for my entire life, splitting the
first half with Denver, second half in Colorado Springs. Monster says
Denver is about 20% more expensive to live in than Colorado Springs, but I
can't necessarily agree....but I'll tell you that every time I've done a
calculation to move somewhere else, unless it's Podunk America, it's more
expensive than living here....anyone truly interested, I suggest as others
have....are you coming out on the week and going home on the weekend, or are
you moving, if moving, connect with a realtor and check out prices of places
and determine parts of town that you might want to live in, determine
commute times, etc....these are all general things that any responsible
person needs to do when looking to relocate anywhere in the country :)

I've heard it's fairly expensive to live out there. How does cost of living
stack up to the rest of the country?

I agree with Rick.. I have been to CO and love it there, but the weather can
be so unpredictable even in the month of April.. It can begin at 8:00 with
sunshine and at 70 degrees F, and you could have 6 to 12 inches of snow by
6:00 PM – this actually happened a couple of years ago when I was there, and
then next morning by 9:00 there was no sign that it snowed.. But it’s a lot
better earlier in the year when you know it will be cold most of the time,
and a little later in the year where its hot almost all the time..

Factors:
1) Colorado Springs is a beautiful place, but is kinda remote and not
everyone's cup of tea.
2) Spending the winter someplace cold might not appeal to some.
3) Yes, the market is pretty strong.

Really? A few weeks ago I posted that I have an opening at my company for a
Remedy Developer with ITSM experience in Colorado Springs and the only
responses I got back where asking where I was going. Is the remedy market
so strong at the moment that everyone is fully employed, and happy where
they are? Are there really not enough Remedy Developers in the market to
support the current demand?....this is a good thing mind you, but I'm
looking for my replacement and can't seem to find one...
Remedy 7.5, upgrading to 8.0 in the near future
Full ITSM Suite, with customizations that need to be migrated
Secret Security clearance either already obtained, or obtainable necessary
Resumes of interested parties will be forwarded to corporate recruiter for
contact
