Best I have seen is the D.C. area. I may be way off base here, but most of the recent requests for referrals that I have received are from Government agencies (many of whom are bringing contract works back in house).
FWIW, D.C. area is also home to several of the most active user groups (oh, and CFUN of course), as well as respected CF development shops. I don't know which is the chicken and which is the egg - but it does all fit together nicely. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Ray Champagne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 4:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Best three CF Job locales? [WAS: Re: CF vs ASP.NET! GET YOUR FRESH POPCORRRRN!!] Where the heck do you live? I wish I had the balls to up and move from my homeland. I consider myself a PGP (pretty good programmer), and I am stuck here at an embarassing salary. My job, co-workers and job environment is awesome, I get to take my dog to work, I make my own hours, and have all the freedom in the world. But still, some bennies and a better salary would be nice. Let's start another topic: Where are the top 3 places to live if you want the best CF job? Maybe I'll consider a move.... (I am cross-posting this so that everybody gets it, but reply only to the cf-community, as this is gotten even further off-topic) Ray At 04:26 PM 12/14/2004, you wrote: >will, > >if u spent as much time going to your local cfug as u do whining u'd >have a damn cfm job have u ever gone to a cfug? do u know what a cfug >is? > >funny, last night at ours, the shops that were going .net & cfm have >now scaled back to just cfm, hummmmmmmmmmmm > >and plenty of jobs were passed around, lowest paid $45 an + hour full >benefit package > >if u were there u coulda had your pick, well maybe > >like i said before, dont let the door hit ya were the good lord split >ya > >---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- >From: Will Tomlinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 16:13:53 -0400 > > >Silence the dissenters.
